thick-film metalliza-
tion paste for frontside
photovoltaic (PV) solar
cell metallization.
This new, advanced
material has outper-
formed competitive
metallization pastes
in a wide range of
processes, and in trials
by customers around
the world. Customers
who have sampled Solamet®
PV159 have seen up to 0.5% efficiency
improvement on wafers with shallower
emitters compared to standard wafers,
with substantial improvements also shown
on many other wafer/emitter types. mcm.
