An exclusive agreement with Sixtron Advanced Materials will allow Air Liquide to offer advanced coating materials that tackle light-induced degradation (LID) problems for crystalline-silicon solar cells, which compliments Air Liquide’s own advanced precursor materials. The Silexium process solution combines proprietary precursor molecules with Sixtron’s ‘SunBox’ gas generation system to deposit solar cell films.

Peter Tyszewicz, President and CEO of Sixtron commented, “Air Liquide’s number one market position will allow Sixtron to support the crystalline-silicon solar industry as it improves cell efficiency and reduces costs.”
