PV metallization pastes

DuPont Microcircuit Materials has added two new products to its line-up of frontside silver metallization pastes for crystalline silicon solar cells. DuPont Solamet PV18H and PV18J PV metallization pastes offer solar cell manufacturers improved efficiency and profitability. The advanced Solamet PV18x series products deliver a step change in the power output of panels by improving the conversion efficiency of solar cells. This is due to proprietary Tellurium technology, which has been instrumental in unlocking efficiency gains by more than 0.5% by allowing contact to enhanced lightly doped emitters. 
 
Compared to industry standard pastes on multi-crystalline solar cells, Solamet PV18H and PV18J can boost conversion efficiency by an additional 0.15%, as well as enabling extremely fine line printability down to 35 microns. Additionally, up to 30% less material usage is required with these new materials, resulting in significant savings for manufacturers.
