Krailling, Germany--InnoLas Solutions, a maker of laser-based production equipment for solar cells, has been formed by InnoLas Systems from its former photovoltaic business unit. The new company will have an installed base of laser systems with a photovoltaic production capacity of over 1.5 GW/year, and will also provide systems for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
The laser photovoltaic manufacturing processes were developed by InnoLas Systems in its application lab and then scaled for industrial systems. The ILS laser machines are designed for producing passivated emitter and rear contact cells, selective emitter doping, and laser contact opening, all of which increase efficiency.
In the field of thin film solar, the laser systems of the IMPALA laser systems series offer high precision laser scribing that significantly reduces a module’s “dead area,” again leading to increased efficiency.
Markus Nicht, CEO InnoLas Solutions, says, “Our laser systems offer photovoltaic manufacturers a proven and cost-effective way to improve cell/module efficiency and to increase throughput. This in turn means that our customers benefit from an optimized capital expenditure as well as from a quick return on capital investment.”
