The investigation and successful application of novel feedstock materials (n-type Si, solar grade Si), cell concepts and processing technologies requires a profound understanding of material and device physics. We therefore apply a wide range of testing and characterisation methods.
What we offer in this area:
- Evaluating silicon feedstock in variable processing steps through characterisation of the solar cells made from the feedstock
- Development and testing of novel processing tools
- Running of simulations
- Loss analysis of solar cells
- Degradation tests and cell stabilisation
- Development of new characterisation methods and equipment
- Small sample production of special as well as partially processed solar cells for experimental purposes, applying customer-defined processing steps
