SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Reports Successful Final Acceptance Test (FAT) of Processing Systems for Heterojunction Solar Cells - Seite 2

The SILEX II supplied is a production system that transports four carriers with solar cells in parallel, thus offering a capacity in excess of 5,000 wafers per hour. The SILEX II with various processing baths uses newly developed ozone-based cleaning steps, the merits of which are short process times, versatility and ease of handling, along with very attractive low usage of chemicals. This process step plays a vital part in improving solar cell efficiency and cutting production costs. Following CE certification for the EU and Semi certification for the USA, the SILEX II has now also been granted TR CU certification for Russia.

Igor Shakhray, CEO of Hevel, added: "We are focusing on heterojunction technology both for the Russian market and export. That's why we are using new equipment to convert our existing production facility in Russia to produce high-performance solar cells and modules with an annual production output of around 160 megawatts". Igor Shakhray continued: "The results with the SILEX II are very positive and better than expected. We are delighted to be working in partnership with such an experienced provider of solar machinery and technology as SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, which has fully met our expectations".
