DuPont Innovalight offers cell manufacturers easy-to-implement solutions to improve profitability
DuPont Innovalight provides innovative silicon inks and licenses proprietary high-efficiency solar cell process technology to solar cell manufacturers which enables an immediate increase in solar cell conversion efficiency for customers.
DuPont Innovalight’s Cougar Platform is the latest low cost cell design enabled by DuPont Innovalight silicon ink that allows cell manufacturers to quickly break through the efficiency ceiling.
The proprietary material is comprised of silicon nano-particles dispersed in an environmentally friendly blend of chemicals. The result of over 100 engineering-years of ink development, DuPont Innovalight has optimized silicon particle size and dopant concentration to maximize the conversion efficiency of the Cougar Platform. Additionally, the material was formulated to be compatible with low-cost industry standard screen printers – the same tool cell manufacturers use for printing metal contacts.
With the formulation of DuPont™ Innovalight™ silicon ink for the Cougar Platform commercialized, DuPont Innovalight is now altering the material properties for use with other high efficiency screen printer based platforms in line with DuPont Innovalight’s technology roadmap.
