Heraeus, a developer and manufacturer of metallization pastes for the photovoltaic industry, has debuted its SOL9600 Series of front-side metallization pastes.
The pastes, designed for conventional crystalline silicon solar cells, have demonstrated significantly improved contact quality on regular and high sheet emitter wafers (up to 35% decrease in contact resistance), exhibiting an absolute efficiency improvement of up to 0.3% over that of previous pastes, according to Heraeus.
As with all Heraeus metallization pastes, the SOL9600 Series offers a wide processing window during firing, which provides a tight production output distribution and improves yields, the company adds.
