ADVANCED MATERIALS GROUP Materials for Solar Energy Applications

Materials for Solar Energy Applications The Challenge It is critical that materials used for thin film solar applications are of the highest quality. Whether your application is thin film, crystalline silicon, concentrated photovoltaic or concentrated solar power, a high quality material enables reliable device performance and durability. It is also important to select the most appropriate materials to maximize performance of absorber, reflector, antireflective, back contact, buffer, high temperature and TCO thin films. The Solution Materion, now expanded with the addition of Heraeus target materials...
