SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Reports Successful Final Acceptance Test (FAT) of
Processing Systems for Heterojunction Solar Cells
- Russia's Hevel Solar has successfully finished the conversion of the
existing production line for a-Si thin-film solar modules
- More than 21.75 % cell efficiency after upgrading to heterojunction (HJT)
technology
- The SILEX II supplied transports four carriers in parallel, thus offering
a capacity in excess of 5,000 wafers per hour
Kahl am Main, 29. March 2017 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG (SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES) has successfully completed the FAT of the wet-chemical process
system SILEX II, which was delivered to the customer's facility towards the
end of last year. In July 2016, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES had received orders to
supply production systems for heterojunction solar cells from Russia's
largest photovoltaic manufacturer, Hevel LLC, Novocheboksarsk, Russia
(Hevel). Hevel is converting its existing production line for a-Si thin-film
solar modules to the production of new heterojunction, high-performance
solar cells and modules.
The agreement concluded the supply of the SILEX II production system for the
wet-chemical processing of heterojunction solar cells as well as an
extensive range of chemical supply units and facility infrastructure for the
production of heterojunction solar cells.
Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG, commented: "We are
very happy that Hevel directly achieved 21.75% cell efficiency after
upgrading its a-Si thin-film production line to HJT technology. SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES has invested a huge amount in the further development of the
SILEX II, and thanks to its high efficiency and modern engineering, we have
successfully convinced a large number of customers to invest in the new
heterojunction technology". Dr.-Ing. Rinck continues: "Particularly when
converting existing manufacturing lines for a-Si thin-film solar production
to heterojunction solar cells, we can offer effective solutions with our wet
processing system SILEX II and our production systems for PVD coating
technology".
The SILEX II supplied is a production system that transports four carriers
with solar cells in parallel, thus offering a capacity in excess of 5,000
wafers per hour. The SILEX II with various processing baths uses newly
developed ozone-based cleaning steps, the merits of which are short process
times, versatility and ease of handling, along with very attractive low
usage of chemicals. This process step plays a vital part in improving solar
cell efficiency and cutting production costs. Following CE certification for
the EU and Semi certification for the USA, the SILEX II has now also been
granted TR CU certification for Russia.
Igor Shakhray, CEO of Hevel, added: "We are focusing on heterojunction
technology both for the Russian market and export. That's why we are using
new equipment to convert our existing production facility in Russia to
produce high-performance solar cells and modules with an annual production
output of around 160 megawatts". Igor Shakhray continued: "The results with
the SILEX II are very positive and better than expected. We are delighted to
be working in partnership with such an experienced provider of solar
machinery and technology as SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, which has fully met our
expectations".
