How can a lean manufacturing methodology be applied to solar module assembly?

The packaging industry’s lean manufacturing methodology can be applied directly to solar module assembly. Second-generation solar cell, also known as thin-film solar cell (TFSC) or thin-film photovoltaic cell (TFPV) , is made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films) of photovoltaic material on a substrate.

What is metallization in solar cell manufacturing?

A critical step in solar cell manufacturing is metallization through screen printing. By changing the specifications of thick film drying and firing furnaces , the company stepped comfortably into the solar cell market. Solar technologies have created compelling technical challenges and business opportunities for assembly and packaging engineers.

How many manufacturing processes are there in a solar cell?

At least three standard manufacturing processes mean that there are technical opportunities for assembly and packaging engineers. There are two main layers that are essential to the solar cell’s function. One is a p-type layer, which means that the wafers are boron doped, and an n-type layer created by introducing phosphorus.

How does a solar module metallization line work?

Si wafer metallization line Solar module assembly usually involves soldering cells together to produce a 36-cell string (or longer) and laminating it between toughened glass on the top and a polymeric backing sheet on the bottom.

What can assembly & packaging engineers do for You?

Assembly and packaging engineers have played a significant role in developing these manufacturing techniques , creating incredible potentials in every generation of the solar business. Elemental or crystalline silicon is the principal component of most semiconductor devices, most importantly integrated circuits or microchips.

Why do solar cells use thin films?

There are certainly many good reasons for moving to thin films for the solar cell manufacturing process. Thin film deposition. Copper indium gallium selenide (CigS) is used for the thin film active layers in CigS solar cells, commonly formed using sputter deposition.
