  • A Novel Flexible Silver Paste Enables Thin Film Photovoltaic Flex Solar Cells

    by Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, James Slattery, Lee Kresge, Dr. Hong-Sik Hwang

    A flexible high performance Ag metallization paste LTTF-6363 has been developed for thin film photovoltaic flex solar cells. The binder of the paste is soft epoxy-based resin system. Compared with a thermoplastic paste system, LTTF-6363 exhibits superior adhesion and is flexible. These features enable the deployment of flex solar panels where tolerance against rolling or bending is critical. LTTF-6363 also displays excellent print characteristics and non-slump performance. This is extremely important for maximizing the effective open areas on solar cells. LTTF-6363 exhibits very good solderability, thus allows easy soldering connection with other electronic devices.

    EMS providers specializing in SMT are seeking to diversify and fill capacity. Photovoltaic module assembly is a popular choice. PV cell stringing in solar module assembly is achieved using many common SMT materials and processes. Solders, fluxes, and reflow technologies produce electrical interconnects in a-Si and c-Si photovoltaic assembly technology.
