Efficiency made by manz
The conversion of sunlight into electrical energy is carried out in solar cells, the core component of photovoltaic equipment. The process of manufacturing this equipment includes a variety of steps – from extracting silicon to manufacturing the modules. Within the value chain of manufacturing crystalline solar cells, Manz AG focuses on the third stage: the process of going from wafer to cell.
Almost all of the world’s larger manufacturers use Manz systems for manufacturing solar cells. Our core areas include:
- Automation
- Test & Inspection
- Metallization Lines
- Laser Processing Technology
- Wet Chemistry
- Vacuum Coating
When developing new processes, our focus is on the economical manufacture of solar cells. Doing so means Manz has a hand in increasing efficiency and cutting costs in the field of photovoltaics. In conjunction with high-performance image-processing systems, precise and fast robotic systems allow for takt times of under one second with minimal breakage rates. With throughput of 2,400 wafers per hour, our integrated 60 MW back-end line is currently the fastest production line on the market for the metallization (screen printing), laser edge isolation, inspection, and sorting of solar cells.
Manz has developed a novel vacuum tool concept for passivation and anti reflex coatings which offers unique benefits for established as well as future cell concepts.
Within this third stage of the value chain, Manz AG’s products cover approximately 80% of all investments made.
