Q-Cells presents new solar cell technology

The PV-company Q-Cells SE presents its new solar cell technology at the first international conference on silicon photovoltaics, which is held from 17-20 April in Freiburg in Germany.

At the conference, the technology experts and scientists from Q-Cells SE will share their latest discoveries and data for improvement of silicon technology with topics about efficiency enhancement, material characterisation and methods of passivation in silicon photovoltaic.

According to Q-Cells, at Silicon PV, Peter Wawer, Senior Vice President Technology at Q-Cells, will unveil the company’s new cell technology for high-efficiency solar cells. These cells have been developed at the Q-Cells in-house research centre, with function nanolayers on the rear side metallised and passivated. This results in improved optical aesthetics and electrical performance, and it significantly boosts the solar cells’ output. In February 2011, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) verified the record-breaking performance of the polycrystalline solar modules produced by Q-Cells using this high-performance cell technology, Q-Cells points out.

Alongside presentations of Q-Cells’ new solar cell technology for mon- and multicrystalline silicon, Q-Cells’ technological experts will also have information to report about surface passivation of solar cells and about long-term solar module stability, an issue of critical importance to the sector
