Regenerative energies, such as photovoltaics, are gaining ground. Longevity, high efficiency, and reduced costs are decisive for both crystalline and thin-film solar modules. Thin-film technologies in particular promise cost advantages. This is thanks to clearly reduced consumption of material and energy in module production. Thin-film modules have meanwhile established themselves on the market and are produced at acceptable efficiency rates.
More and more conductive adhesives made by DELO are being used in the production of the thin-film cells. They are replacing soldering as a joining method. On top of that, adhesives are used to produce conventional silicon solar cells. During the wafering process, the silicon ingots are bonded with DELO adhesives. Afterwards, they are cut into wafers. Debonding from the carrier plate then proceeds without leaving any residues.
