Market-Driven Improvements in the Manufacturing of EFG Modules

Market-Driven Improvements in the Manufacturing of EFG Modules

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Most of the subtasks scheduled for the first year of the current PVMaT Phase 4A2 subcontract at ASE Americas have been completed on schedule. Improvements have been made in EFG wafer technology, cell efficiency, and module manufacturing methods, which have reduced module costs by 7%. Further improvements will be developed during the coming year. Full implementation of the new technologies inmanufacturing, during the third and final year of the subcontract, is expected to reduce module production costs by 25%.
