Solliance: Equipment development for thin film PVIntegrated system for free form back end interconnectionSolliance: Equipment development for thin film PVIntegrated system for free form back end interconnection

Back-end interconnection

• fully digital: enables free-form modules

• reduced dead-zone without cost increase

• no alignment and cleaning steps needed

• specifically CIGS: reduces P1 shunt loss

Connects mass volume front-end manufacturing with high mix back-end products

Increased design and (or) dimensional flexibility

Monolytic interconnection▪ 21May 25th 2016

In the classical process cleaning ( ) and alignment ( ) steps are needed
