SHANGHAI, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Heraeus
Photovoltaics Global Business Unit, a worldwide leading supplier of
metallization pastes for the photovoltaic industry, will introduce
two new product modifications for front-side and back-side
applications at the SNEC (2015) International Photovoltaic Power
Generation Conference & Exhibition from April 28th through April 30th , 2015 in Hall: W3 Booth:
660.
The Heraeus SOL205B is a back-side
tabbing paste for mono- and multicrystalline silicon solar
cells. This newest formulation optimizes the Ag content and
glass chemistry to provide higher and consistent adhesion before
and after high temperature ageing. The SOL205B provides cell manufacturers with enhanced
busbar adhesion and therefore improved module reliability. At the
same time, the SOL205B has a lower
silver content and paste usage per cell giving it an excellent
performance to cost ratio.
Heraeus' SOL9621 Series includes
the latest product customizations from Heraeus' successful
SOL9621 Series launched at last
year's SNEC tradeshow. According to Dr. Weiming Zhang, "For many customers, we have
created several improvements in the SOL9621 Series relative to the products we
released in this series last year. Alpha testing customers
with LDE applications achieved up to 0.1% absolute higher cell
efficiency. This is due to the reduced contact resistance and
stable contact formation. The lower recombination leads to
higher Voc. The latest versions of the
SOL9621 Series also has improved
printability with the demonstrated ability of ultra-fine line
printing, suitable for screen openings less than 40 micron.
This paste is ideal for LDE single printing, double printing and
PERC applications." Several versions of the Heraeus
SOL9621 Series are currently in mass
production and are available in large volumes.
