The company also appointed Andy London as head of the new solar PV division. London has over 30 years of experience supplying thick-film pastes to the electronics industry.
Products custom-made for the PV industry include HeraSol. HeraSol is used to bond first-generation PV cells (silicon wafer-based). The new HeraSol series of products is cadmium-free, possesses printing properties and is available in a lead-free version.
According to W. C. Heraeus, after preliminary fusion penetration, the bank contacts demonstrate high conductivity and efficiency with marginal contact resistance.
The company’s full line includes solutions and products for silicon-based solar cells, thin-film solar cells and organic solar cells.
