PRESS RELEASE
Q-Cells presents new solar cell technology at first Silicon PV conference
in Germany
Bitterfeld-Wolfen/Freiburg, 18 April 2011 - Q-Cells SE, one of the world's
leading photovoltaic companies, presents new solar cell technology at the
first international conference on silicon photovoltaics, which will be held
from 17-20 April in Freiburg in Germany. At the conference, the technology
experts and scientists from Q-Cells SE will share their latest discoveries
and data for improvement of silicon technology with topics about efficiency
enhancement, material characterisation and methods of passivation in
silicon photovoltaic.
At Silicon PV, Peter Wawer, Senior Vice President Technology at Q-Cells,
will unveil the company's new cell technology for high-efficiency solar
cells. These cells have been developed at the Q-Cells in-house research
centre, with function nanolayers on the rear side metallised and
passivated. This results in improved optical aesthetics and electrical
performance, and it significantly boosts the solar cells' output. In
February 2011, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE)
verified the record-breaking performance of the polycrystalline solar
modules produced by Q-Cells using this high-performance cell technology.
'This world record sees Q-Cells once again underscore its leading
technological position in the field of crystalline solar cells,' emphasised
Peter Wawer, Senior Vice President Technology at Q-Cells. He continued:
'Thanks to the close integration of research, development and production at
our Thalheim plant, the high-performance module we have developed will soon
be ready for series production.'
Alongside presentations of Q-Cells' new solar cell technology for mon- and
multicrystalline silicon, Q-Cells' technological experts will also have
information to report about surface passivation of solar cells and about
long-term solar module stability, an issue of critical importance to the
sector.
Silicon PV, the first international conference about silicon photovoltaics,
will focus on the technology featured in crystalline silicon solar cells
and solar modules. As the first international conference for silicon
photovoltaics, Silicon PV will bring together an international audience
consisting of scientists and technological experts from around the entire
world. In this, its first year, the event will focus on the issue of
Advanced Cells and Modules. The international representatives of companies
and institutes will present their studies and research results at their
stands, at presentations and during panel discussions. The conference will
emphasise Germany's leading role as a motor for technological innovations
within the photovoltaics sector, something which is supported by Q-Cells
SE, as one of the world's largest solar energy companies with roots in
Germany.
