The NanoPV project aims at making a breakthrough step-change in photovoltaics by the removal of a set of bottlenecks which have been identified to block the application of nanostructures for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells. The bottlenecks arise from the present lack of up-scalable processes that can meet the needs for nanomaterials in PV applications, and the lack of relevant equipment and ...

Laser processes provide manufacturing solutions with minimum mechanical and thermal influence on the processed product due to their selective energy control and deposition and generally high processing speed. With this advantages they are already well established for some processing steps in the current production of solar cells. High speed laser ablation is used for the isolation of the emitter f ...
