PROCESS I IMPROVEMENTS
demanding technologies like print-on-print. With next-generation zero-edge-contact handling, advanced vision capabilities and exceptional positional accuracy, Eclipse enables high yield silicon cell processing for even the most demanding solar production environments. The PV1200+ builds on DEK Solar’s proven platform expertise. It operates at optimal throughput of 1450 wph and delivers maximum yield while reducing the total cost of ownership with its compact design.
In addition to these platforms, DEK Solar has an extensive showcase of stencils and screens from its Process Support Products division. Known worldwide for its expertise in screen manufacture, DEK Solar has consistently delivered precision emulsion screens for multiple applications and photovoltaic technologies.
Leveraging its precision and accuracy of both the PVP1200+ and Eclipse platforms, DEK Solar has developed breakthrough technologies such as Print-on-Print that have been breaking cell efficiency records. In a recent independent testing, the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) achieved a record value of 20.1 percent for the conversion efficiency of screen-
printed silicon solar cells. This was carried out on DEK Solar’s Dual Print and Print-on-Print processes, using the highly accurate Eclipse screen printing platform and precision screens. In addition, the ISFH confirmed that significant silver savings can be made using the two processes, with no loss of efficiency.
Over the years, DEK Solar has grown from strength to strength by leveraging our complete knowledge of the printing process. DEK Solar is the only metallization equipment provider in the industry with in-house screen and stencil design and manufacturing expertise. This enables DEK Solar to provide customers an optimal complete photovoltaic metallization solution from screen and stencil design and manufacture, to the development of award winning solar cell metallization platforms that boost cell efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership, all delivering on DEK Solar’s ‘Expect More’ philosophy. DEK Solar serves customers in over 100 countries and support over 20,000 platform installations from DEK Solar’s Centers of Excellence in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
