Applied Materials, the fourth in Shanghai SNEC (2010) announced during the International Solar PV Exhibition, its Esatto technology will in the coming months by the Chinese mainland, China Taiwan and Europe customers for an annual output of more than 2GW solar energy . Customers have made use of Esatto Technology 0.46% of the absolute cell efficiency, and reduce by 14% of the print paste consumption. Higher efficiency and lower consumables combination of expenditure is expected to reduce the cost of 3 cents per watt, making the payback period be reduced to only 8 months.
Esatto technology is high accuracy, multi-step screen-printing technology for Applied Materials, Inc. is the market leader Baccini back-end processing system solar cells. This has been verified by the actual production of screen printing technology used to manufacture crystalline silicon solar cells of advanced electrode structure. Vice President of Applied Materials, Baccini Cell Systems General Manager Davide Spotti said: "Esatto reflect the application of materials technology's ability to overcome challenges and integrate new technologies to provide customers with easy to implement, and cost-effective solutions. We are from battery manufacturers get positive feedback, because they can use existing production equipment and processes to promote cell efficiency improvement of the road map.
" Applied Materials Esatto core technology lies in its intellectual property rights of the lighting system and pattern recognition system, it can provide high accuracy and repeatability is essential in order to achieve precise multi-layer printed aligned. Germany's renowned Fraunhofer Institute in a study, Esatto dual pre-printed electrode can achieve additional enhancement of the absolute battery efficiency and significantly reduce the use of printing paste. Applied Materials Esatto technology to battery manufacturers to provide a simple way to upgrade existing Baccini system to enable it to create selective emitter structure, which is located below the lower electrode resistivity region. Through these structures, customers can capture a wider spectrum of the sun, the battery efficiency is further enhanced.
