SOLIBRO TECHNOLOGY

CUTTING-EDGE SOLAR TECHNOLOGY

CIGS (Cu(In,Ga)Se2): highest efficiency

potential among thin-film solar cell materials.

CIGS technology of Solibro is based on

extensive research and development carried

out at Uppsala University

Research activities resulted in world class

results, e.g. current world record CIGS mini-

module with 18.7% efficiency and a 21%

efficiency cell

Development in Uppsala is continued with

expanded resources at Solibro Research AB

MORE YIELD

The recent implemented anti-reflection coating

optimizes the light absorption and leads to higher

module efficiencies and higher yield, just as further

improvements of the temperature coefficient to

-0.37% / K.

COMPLETELY BLACK APPEARANCE

The choice of black components results in an

entirely black module, which makes our new series

especially suitable for sophisticated visual

applications.

HIGHER RELIABILITY Optimized processes and module components lead

to a more stable and reliable module. Additionally

the panels are approved for a snow load up to 5400

Pa and can thus be used for an even larger number

of applications and locations.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

MORE YIELD

MORE AESTHETICS

HIGHER RELIABILITY


QUALITY MADE IN GERMANY

Our SL2 panels “Made in Germany“ are produced in

a state-of-the-art factory near Leipzig/Germany.

All products are tested according to very high

standards in order to ensure a long lifetime and

safety of all module components.

WORLD RECORD CIGS CELLS

Solibro´s world leading thin-film efficiencies are

based on our world-record CIGS technology that

leads to power classes of up to 135 Wp.

different climatic conditions proving superbly

performance of our modules even under critical

climatic conditions

OUTSTANDING TEMPERATURE RESPONSE

Delivering top performance even at very high

temperatures

Output of modules generally decreases as the

temperature increases crucial factor for yield,

particularly at maximum insolation

THE OPTIMISED TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOUR GUARANTEES RELIABLE YIELDS IN HOT

WEATHER OR WITH INCREASED MODULE TEMPERATURES.

Module temperatures easily exceed the standard test temperature of 25°C and result in power losses

at higher temperatures. With a temperature coefficient of - 0.37 % / K (PMPP) Solibro´s panels reduce

the losses to a minimum.

SOLIBRO PRODUCTION - FRONT END

CELL STRUCTURE AND MONOLITHIC INTEGRATION OF A CIGS THIN FILM MODULE

Front contact (i-ZnO / ZnO:Al (−))

Absorption layer CIGS

Molybdenum back contact (+)

Glass substrate



FRONT END PROCESS

BACK END


INSTALLING THE BACK CONTACT

The back contact of the solar module consists of a molybdenum

coating applied to the substrate glass using cathode sputtering.


CIGS COATING

A layer of copper, indium, gallium and selenium is applied as a

light absorber using a co-evaporation technique. A buffer layer is

then deposited via a chemical bath.

PATTERNING 1

The molybdenum coating is divided into 150 cells.


TCO

A conductive overlay of zinc oxide is applied as a front contact

using cathode sputtering.


PATTERNING 3 AND 4

A third structuring process is needed to firstly interconnect the

150 cells. In order to maintain Solibro’s high reliability standards

while continuously increasing the module power, the active area

of the module is divided into different segments by a fourth

scribing operation.

PATTERNING 2

Further structuring is needed to interconnect the 150 cells.


SOLIBRO PRODUCTION - BACK END

BACK END PROCESS



DRILLING / SEAMING

Contact holes are drilled so that the contact strip can

subsequently be routed to the back.

EDGE SEALING / CONTACTING

The edges of the glass are sealed with butyl tape and two

contact strips are installed.

EDGE ABLATION

The coated substrate glass now takes on its final form. It is

subjected to a downstream two-stage edge ablation process.



CONTACT HOLES / JUNCTION BOX

The contact holes are sealed and then the junction box is

mounted.

LAMINATION

All components are laminated together and then cooled for the

subsequent process steps.

MARRIAGE

The front glass, substrate glass and EVA film are "married" to

each other.



PACKAGING / FINAL INSPECTION

After labeling and a final inspection the Solibro modules are

ready for packaging and to be sent to our customers.

FRAMING / HIGH VOLTAGE TESTER (OPTIONAL)

A part of the produced laminates is framed by one of our fully

automated production tools and quality tested by a high voltage

inspection afterwards.

HIGH VOLTAGE TESTER / SOLAR SIMULATOR

The electrical insulation of the finished modules is tested using

a high voltage tester. The solar simulator deter-mines the output

of the modules.
