Cast Polycrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Module Manufacturing Technology Improvements: Annual Subcontract Report, 1 January 1995 - 31 December 1995

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    The objective of this 3-year program is to advance Solarex's cast polycrystalline silicon manufacturing technology, reduce module production costs, increase module performance, and expand Solarex's commercial production capacities. Two specific objectives of this program are to reduce the manufacturing cost for polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules to less than $1.20/watt and toincrease the manufacturing capacity by a factor of three. To achieve these objectives, Solarex is working in the following technical areas: casting, wire saws, cell process, module assembly, and frameless module development.
