The growing role of lasers


The photovoltaic (PV) and solar industries seek to reduce manufacturing costs while increasing device capability. This is fairly standard for all industries but the PV and solar market is in a position where much of the growth is currently due to subsidies which will not last for ever. The industry needs to develop a sustainable market before the subsidies disappear. One area that has great potential to assist the industry in achieving these goals is manufacturing with lasers due to their capacity for high throughput and increased manufacturing speed. Solar asked experts in the field about the future of lasers in the industry.
