AT&S and Solland Solar have announced their intention to collaborate on the development of a concept for solar cell applications. AT&S, the printed circuit board producer, and Solland Solar, manufacturer of standard and back-contact solar cells, have entered into the development partnership in an effort to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of solar cells.
The companies intend to design an innovative solar module concept by using processes and materials common to both the photovoltaics industry and the printed circuit board industry. A fully functional prototype is planned, which will be presented and assessed for suitability to mass production.
