Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology, Phase 1, Final Subcontract Report, 9 January 1991 - 14 April 1991

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This report examines the cost-effective manufacture of dendritic-web-based photovoltaic modules. It explains how process changes can increase production and reduce manufacturing costs. Long-range benefits of these improved processes are also discussed. Problems are identified that could impede increasing production and reducing costs; approaches to solve these problems are presented. Theseapproaches involve web growth throughput, cell efficiency, process yield, silicon use, process control, automation, and module efficiency. Also discussed are the benefits of bifacial module design, unique to the dendritic web process.
