摘要
Construction of as many as 70 x 100 MW manufacturing facilities in the next two decades is required to address U.S. Photovoltaic Industry Roadmap targets. Effective material utilization, high throughput and yield, improvements in solar cell efficiency, and minimizing the environmental impact of manufacturing waste products are all desirable attributes that must be combined in low cost factory equipment. We discuss how these elements are being addressed with ribbon technology now under development for crystalline silicon wafer production by the Edge-defined Film-fed Growth (EFG) method.
