JinkoSolar Holdings has signed an agreement with Innovalight granting JinkoSolar the right to purchase Innovalight’s silicon ink and license its processing technology for the manufacturing of solar cells. JinkoSolar is looking at this contract with Innovalight’s technology to yield efficiencies over 18.6% in its monocrystalline solar cells during the first half of 2011.
Guoxiao Yao, chief technology officer and vice president at JinkoSolar, commented, “Innovalight's silicon ink provides a unique, cost-effective solution that is able to significantly improve the efficiency of our solar cells with a simple one-step upgrade to our existing cell production lines. Our higher efficiency solar cells will offer a better return on investment for system integrators and further solidify our position as a leading solar cell and module manufacturer. We remain committed to investing in technologies that will enhance our solar products and we look forward to implementing Innovalight's proprietary processing technology in a short time.”
