Initiative in photovoltaic manufacturing
final subcontract report, 2 January 2002 - 15 January 2008
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.)
The major objectives of the photovoltaic manufacturing initiative at Georgia Institute of Technology are to research and develop new and improved methods for thin crystalline silicon wafer handling, transport, inspection, and real-time monitoring of equipment used in solar cell/panel manufacturing. This report summarizes the major accomplishments of the project in each of the following three areas: (1) Optical inspection of residual stresses in thin silicon wafers, (2) Thin wafer handling and breakage, and (3) Factory information software development. The advances made in this research will enhance solar cell yield and quality, and lower the cost of manufacturing silicon-based PV.
