4 FAQs about Photovoltaic bracket production laser cutting

Why is laser technology important for solar energy production?

Solar energy is indispensable to tomorrow´s energy mix. To ensure photovoltaic systems are able to compete with conventional fossil fuels, production costs of PV modules must be reduced and the efficiency of solar cells increased. laser technology plays a key role in the economical industrial-scale production of high-quality solar cells.

How does a laser split a solar cell?

The solar cell is split purely by the tension generated by the laser. Not only is this particularly gentle on the material, but it also means that no additional process gases or coolants are required. Photonics Systems Group is a market leader in laser systems for micromaterial processing.

Can a laser cut a solar cell into two half cells?

Another application that is currently garnering more and more interest in the industry, thanks to its abil- ity to increase performance, is using a laser to cut a solar cell into two half cells. Crystalline silicon solar cells are typi- cally cut with a laser these days because of the low process costs and the high degree of precision.

How do you cut a silicon solar cell?

Crystalline silicon solar cells are typi- cally cut with a laser these days because of the low process costs and the high degree of precision. Although there are different approaches to cutting a cell into two – or more – parts, the most common way is by scribing and breaking. laser to a depth of about one third of its thickness.
