Photovoltaic Cz Silicon Module Improvements: Final Subcontract Report, 9 November 1995 - 8 November 1998

Photovoltaic Cz Silicon Module Improvements: Final Subcontract Report, 9 November 1995 - 8 November 1998

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This report describes work that focused on reducing the cost per watt of Cz silicon photovoltaic modules under Siemens Solar Industries' (SSI) DOE/NREL Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology (PVMaT) 4A subcontract. SSI researchers deployed new module designs, realized improvements in yield of more than 25%, and implemented statistical process control (SPC). They have described yield improvementsin detail and reported on the deployment of SPC in critical process steps. The sum of all improvements resulted in a greater than 17% cost per watt reduction in manufacturing.
