Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. has signed a technology, research and production collaboration agreement with Innovalight Inc., a privately held firm selling a platform of silicon-ink-based, high-efficiency solar cell materials and technology.
By collaborating with Innovalight, Yingli Green Energy expects to raise the average efficiency of the multicrystalline cells produced on its commercial production lines. Innovalight manufactures a proprietary nanotechnology-based silicon ink and licenses a proprietary platform process that allows a simple upgrade to solar cell manufacturing production lines to boost performance of solar cells and lower production costs, the company says.
