The companies said that SunFabTM Line, using 5.7 square metres of substrates, passed final acceptance test certification and has met specifications for producing solar photovoltaic modules with efficiencies of up to 8%, as well as yield and overall annual capacity specifications. The line is now beginning volume production.
The team also stated that the thin film tandem junction panels use about a 50th of the amount of silicon per watt of electricity produced compared with traditional solar modules fabricated using crystalline silicon wafers.
According to Sunfilm and Applied Materials, they now expect to meet a wide range of customer applications for full, half and quarter-size panels, which can substantially reduce the cost of installed solar electricity. A quarter-size 1.4 square metre module generates up to 115Wp, while a full-size 5.7m2 panel will deliver about 450Wp.
