Meyer Burger announces record HJT cells with efficiencies over 24% at PV CellTech
(PresseBox) - At the PV CellTech conference in Penang, Malaysia from 12 ? 13 March 2019, Meyer Burger CTO, Dr Gunter Erfurt, will speak to two leading technology topics ? Heterojunction and Passivated Contacts.
Heterojunction ? Meyer Burger?s flagship technology
At PV CellTech 2019, international PV industry leaders will discuss key issues driving the development of solar cell production in the coming years. Meyer Burger CTO, Dr Gunter Erfurt, has been invited to present to a high-level session focusing on Heterojunction (HJT) cell expansion and its potential as a breakthrough technology for multi-gigawatt mass production in 2019. With its focus on the development of industrialized high efficiency Heterojunction manufacturing solutions, Meyer Burger has already achieved HJT cells with recent record efficiencies of over 24.2% on its standardized HJT equipment. A technology roadmap for HJT cells with efficiencies towards 25% is already in place at Meyer Burger. During his presentation, Dr Erfurt will include an update on Meyer Burger?s successful SWCT? cell connection technology for which over 1 GW has already been sold.
Dr Erfurt was also asked to speak on passivated contact solar cells (also known as TOPCon or monoPoly achieve efficiency levels of between 21% and 22% but there are significant technology limitations, which affect the potential for further increases in PERC cell efficiency. Passivated contact technology can offer an evolutionary upgrade to existing PERC mass production capacities, taking them to efficiency levels around 23%.

For the past two years, Meyer Burger has been developing a platform for the industrialized manufacture of solar cells with passivated contact technology for both n- and p-type wafers. In trials with customers, the CAiAr HJT modules but also for the most cost-effective production of solar modules with passivated contact cells.
Patent infringement claim by Hanwha Q Cells
Recently solar module manufacturer, Hanwha Q Cells, submitted a patent infringement claim against several Asian solar module producers for the use of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) passivation technology. Meyer Burger?s MAiA
