SOL500 Series

New Ag Pastes for Low Temperature Processing of Thin Film and c-Si Technologies
An industry leader in metallization pastes for crystalline solar cells, Heraeus has now developed a new line of screen printable silver paste products for low temperature processing for the thin film market segment. These materials are applicable to Organic Thin Film Technologies such as Organic and Printed Plastic solar cells; but also applicable to PERL, HIT and other crystalline silicon technologies. Designed for a variety of applications, Heraeus' SOL530, SOL540 and SOL550 all possess faster cure times, higher efficiencies and greater adhesion than commercially available materials.
Applications:
  • SOL530: for Organic PV
  • SOL540: for busbar applications on e.g.PERL cells
  • SOL550: for front-side applications on e.g. HIT cells
