By Mark Osborne, Senior News Editor, Photovoltaics International

PV manufacturing capacity expansion announcements in 2019 were a stark contrast to 2018, when major policy changes in China impacted the upstream supply chain. This paper looks in detail at not only a significant recovery in capacity expansions throughout the year but also new trends in the capacity scale of announcements and a marked shift in wafer sizes and cell technology.

IBC technology: Back contacts move to the front

Cell Processing, Photovoltaics International Papers
The holy grail of every solar cell producer is the creation of a lowcost interdigitated back-contact (IBC) solar cell with an efficiency greater than 25%, a goal that can be found in almost every roadmap presentation. In this paper it will be shown that we are not far away from achieving this target, since IBC devices, with different process complexities, are already in production at several companies.

Mechanical strength of HJT cells: Raising the bar in achieving a low wafer thickness in production

Cell Processing, Photovoltaics International Papers
In this paper, an even greater reduction in wafer thickness, down to 130μm, is evaluated, and the critical steps in terms of breakage rates in cell and module production processes are reviewed. Finally, the mechanical stability and reliability of these thin HJT cells in glass–backsheet and glass–glass module types are addressed.

Sustainable PV manufacturing solutions for relaunching the European PV manufacturing industry

Fab & Facilities, Photovoltaics International Papers
To embrace the terawatt-scale challenge of the PV market growth, a low-carbon and resource-efficient pathway has to be guaranteed. An approach for doing this is to enable market mechanisms that account for the greenhouse gases emissions, and their associated costs, from PV systems and components.
