centrotherm presents product innovations and process developments at EU
PVSEC in Paris
Blaubeuren, September 24, 2013 - centrotherm will present a new modular
design of its c.FIRE fast firing furnace at EU PVSEC, one of the most
important international photovoltaic trade fairs for researchers and
specialists. Solar cell manufacturers can optimally configure c.FIRE for
their specific process and production requirements through selecting
various option packages. With throughput of more than 4,300 wafers,
excellent temperature homogeneity and process stability, c.FIRE achieves
record figures compared with competitors' products. With this centrotherm
fast firing furnace, customers have access to a product that allows them to
achieve maximum efficiencies while at the same time being able to use
standard market as well as newly-developed metallization pastes.
With its low pressure tube furnace for diffusion, centrotherm is presenting
a further product highlight that significantly expands process parameter
scope. The low-pressure diffusion process that centrotherm has developed
achieves outstanding homogeneity at emitter resistances of up to 150
Ω/square, thereby enabling the efficiency potentials of conventional, and
especially new, metallization pastes to be exploited (emitter resistance >
100 Ω/square). European and Asian customers are already deploying this
centrotherm technology in several production lines with a total capacity of
more than 1.2 gigawatts.
'With our unique process know-how derived from more than 50 successfully
installed turnkey production lines and more than 2,000 individual systems
to produce highly efficient solar cells, centrotherm is equipped for future
developments. Our international team of technologists and integration
experts will continue to ensure that existing technologies and solar cell
line concepts continue to be optimized in the future.
Our centaurus technology (optimized PERC) already achieves average cell
efficiencies of 19.8% and peak results of 20.3% not only in the laboratory,
but also in mass production with an installed and tested production
capacity of more than 500 MW,' notes Dr. Josef Haase, Head of Sales and
Technology.
