Photovoltaics: Reaching the next milestone |
||||
|
Permanent innovation and rapid advances are key in the photovoltaic industry. Leybold Optics is proud to be part of this innovation race. Since our entry in this sector in 2005, several of our shipped systems have turned into reference customer installations, both in terms of achieved cell efficiency and throughput. A key to success is the development of dedicated, optimized systems for each application. Be it silicon tandem, CIGS or CdTe cells – each of these technologies has its peculiar advantages and challenges. Leybold Optics focuses on the core vacuum deposition sequences in the production chain, thereby leveraging its vast know-how base. Questions, inquiries, comments? Get in touch with us at |
