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
