Cell line

For the font and backend production of mono and multi-crystalline solar cells there are three concepts available: Inline technology, cluster processes or customer-specific solutions. Which concept is the most suitable depends on various factors such as capacity expandability, automation level and the space availability on-site. The degree of cell efficiency is determined by the process mix and the wafer material.
