Major PV materials supplier, Heraeus Photovoltaics has officially opened its multi-million Euro new Photovoltaics Innovation Center in Shanghai, China.
Major PV materials supplier, Heraeus Photovoltaics has launched eight, next-generation, high-performance metallization pastes at SNEC PV Power Expo 2019.
Speaking at the PV CellTech 2019 event, DuPont's Ted Zhi and Guangyao Jin discuss potential for future metalization gains and ensuring their R&D efforts cover future as well as current mainstream cell architectures.
Module technologies tipped to enter the mainstream and the suitability of current testing methods were scrutinised at PV ModuleTech 2017. PV Tech caught up with Mark Ma, global marketing manager, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, to discuss these new innovations and methods of sequential testing.
Heraeus Photovoltaics has introduced a new paste specifically designed for Diamond-Wire-Cut (DWC) multicrystalline solar cells at the PV Taiwan International Photovoltaic Exhibition.
DK Electronic Materials Inc. (DKEM) has launched a new generation of front-side metallization paste. ‘DK92’ series front-side metallization pastes have been developed to be compatible with different passivation technologies and processes for PERC solar cells, including ALD (spatial ALD, and time-based dual-side passivated ALD), PECVD (remote plasma and direct plasma) as well as other non-AlOx passivation solutions to boost the diversified PERC technologies and to further lower the LCOE.
Major metallization paste producer Heraeus Photovoltaics said it had signed a major strategic partnership agreement with ‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) leader JinkoSolar that will focus on what the company said would be the development of a new generation of “Super PV Cells” with higher efficiencies and lower costs.
Major metallization paste producer Heraeus Photovoltaics has extended its supplier status with major China-based integrated PV module manufacturer, Tongwei Solar to collaborate on next-generation high-efficiency wafer and solar technologies.
Major metallization paste producer Heraeus Photovoltaics said it had lost a patent case against Taiwan-based Giga Solar in the Taiwanese Intellectual Property Court but noted it was reviewing the findings before deciding on an appeal.
