According to the companies, the MWT technology minimizes shading loss at the front cell surface, resulting in an increased active front surface area of the solar cell. Modules can be assembled in a fully automated process with Eurotron equipment.
Ton Hoff, managing director of ECN, said: “A crucial element in ECN’s mission is to bring technology to application. We are therefore very happy that ECN’s technology is going to be industrialized in cooperation with a leading innovative partner like JA Solar.”
Bram Verschoor, commercial director of Eurotron, said: “We are excited that the largest cell manufacturer intends to produce MWT cells. This opens up an enormous market potential for our MWT module manufacturing equipment. We are very pleased with ECN’s support to bring our technology to the market.”
