Evolar - Conventional Silicon-based Solar Cells Technology
The efficiency of conventional silicon-based solar cells has stagnated at around 20 percent and the market has become highly commoditized over the last decade. But perovskite tandem solar cell technology is a promising solution for boosting solar cell efficiency.
Evolar has already successfully commercialized thin-film solar cell technology. We understand the process, have the facilities, and know the formula for successfully scaling up tandem solar cell production.
Evolar’s PV Power Booster Line begins much like any other solar cell production process. Glass enters the line where it is washed before going through initial sputtering deposition and patterning phases. The substrates then enter the perovskite film deposition process, which relies on our unique evaporation technology.
Next, the substrates go through a high-precision atomic layer deposition (ALD) step before continuing through additional patterning and sputtering steps ahead of final inspection.
Evolar is leading the way to bring our perovskite PV Power Booster technology out of the lab and into every solar panel factory across Europe. Our PV Power Booster Line solution can be adapted to meet your needs and specifications. We can provide turnkey factories ranging all the way from the MW to GW scale, depending on your needs.
Evolar’s thin-film production experts will be along for every step of the implementation process, consulting on optimal production flows and providing practical installation assistance. Evolar strives to make integrating the PV Power Booster Line as smooth and efficient as possible, minimizing potential disruptions as well as the time it takes for manufacturers to pay back their capex investment.
Perovskite: next generation photovoltaics
Perovskites are synthesized materials with high potential as their structure makes them perfect for enabling low-cost and efficient photovoltaics. While conventional solar cells are most effective at the low-energy end solar spectrum, adding a layer of perovskite allows solar cells to better utilise the high-energy end of the spectrum. Since perovskite tandem solar cells provide a much wider optical bandgap than conventional solar cells, they are a perfect option for being a top cell in a tandem solar cell.
