Description:

Core offers solar cell fabrication, characterization and testing capabilities. Additional services include making modules and performing reliability testing. Core is designed with industrial compatibility in mind. Although fabrication on smaller substrates or even pieces is possible, the native substrate form factor is currently 156 mm silicon. New equipment is being selected to maintain compatibility with evolving solar manufacturing sizes (e.g., M12 = 295 mm diagonal). Supported technology thrusts reinforce industry relevance. Considering solely silicon technology, architectures researched include Al BSF, PERC, SHJ and various tandems, predominantly silicon-based with a perovskite top cell.
