Natcore, Eurotron Partner on HIT Solar Cells

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Natcore Technology Inc. has teamed up with Eurotron BV to produce next-generation photovoltaic modules. The company recently announced that it had produced an all-back-contact silicon heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell using proprietary laser technology. The company said the technique increases cell efficiency and could allow low-cost, environmentally friendlier production. The cells are made using thin, amorphous silicon layers in combination with a standard crystalline silicon wafers. Contacts are applied to the back of the cell using a laser. ...Read full article
