Through Heraeus’ acquisition of the Ferro PV Pastes Business in early 2013, Heraeus has developed metallization paste technology to improve the output of crystalline silicon solar cells. The first major product developed from this innovative technology will be featured at the SNEC (2014) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition on May 20th through May 22nd, 2014.
“Heraeus’ acquisition of the Ferro PV Pastes Businesses has allowed us to combined the R&D talents and intellectual property portfolios of two metallization paste research organizations,” said Andreas Liebheit, Global Manager of the Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit. “Our enhanced Heraeus PV research and development group has created unique paste components, providing superior solar cell performance through new formulations unlike any commercially available pastes provided by other manufacturers. These new formulations will become a platform for a family of new products that customers can integrate into their manufacturing process with confidence while improving their cells’ efficiency at a lower cost/watt. Our first product breakthrough is a unique paste design for Ultra-LDE wafers.”
This and other announcements can be discussed during Heraeus Photovoltaics’ celebration event at their booth on Tuesday, May 20th from 3:30pm – 5:30pm at this year’s SNEC 8th (2014) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition, in Shanghai China at Hall: W3 Booth: 560.
