Industry Leading Solar Cell Efficiency Spire’s solar cell turnkey lines provide lowest cost of ownership and produce highest efficiency solar cells. The solar cell factories retain a throughput of 2,400 wafers per hour which reduces the overall operating cost of a factory. The operating cost of the factory is lowered significantly by:Fully-automating each cell factoryDecreasing utility consumption rate utilizing equipment with lower utility consumption ratesReducing wafer handling through automation which enhances overall production yieldOptimizing equipment utilization through automationPlacing cell inspection at each automated loader/unloaderBenefits To Partnering With SpireThere are many benefits to partnering with Spire for a solar cell factory includingTop of the line equipment selection with a proven track recordUnprecedented solar cell and factory expertiseSingle point of contactIntegrated process control and quality controlsAutomated robotic inspection at each loaderOff-line sampling inspections at randomNo manual handling of wafers or cells reducing breakage98% mechanical and electrical yieldYield enhancement tools with advanced technology options availableSolar Cell Line OptionsThere are many options available to further enhance a solar cell line and increase the overall throughput.Multi-crystalline or mono-crystalline solar cell productionProduction capacity up to 300MW based on customer needsSelective Emitter FormationHigh precision screen printing including double printingInk Jet printingSilver on silver (Ag) Light Induced Plating (LIP)Copper stack (Cu, Ni) platingmetallization Wrap Through (MWT)Emitter Wrap Through (EWT)
