The rising price and low availability of raw materials such as silver are leading to higher costs in producing photovoltaic modules. Now researchers at the Fraunhofer ISE have developed a novel ...

Applied Materials, Inc. introduces its 300mm SlimCell(TM) electrochemical plating (ECP) system that overcomes the limitations of existing plating technology to deliver a cost-effective, ...

The UNSW researchers used copper plating on the front grid of TOPCon cells to reduce performance losses linked to contaminants. Image: UNSW/Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, CC BY 4.0.

Electroplating is a common manufacturing process that applies a thin layer of one metal onto another. The U.S. penny, for example, has been made of zinc with a thin, electroplated coating of copper ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion ...
