Solar Frontier

2017-02-27

Solar Frontier’s Atsugi Research Centre

team achieves CIS Thin-Film Submodule

Highest Efficiency World Record of 19.2%

Solar Frontier also achieved another world

efficiency record of 19.8% on a 7cm×5cm-

sized CIS thin-film mini-module

World record on cell level achieved in 2016

(unconfirmed) 22.8%

Solar Frontier

▪ This achievement was the result of improvements of CIS absorber layer and buffer

layers performed under joint research between Solar Frontier’s Atsugi Research Centre

(ARC) and the National Research and Development Agency’s New Energy and Industrial

Technology Development Organization (NEDO)

▪ The technological advances made at ARC are swiftly being applied to mass production

through Solar Frontier’s integrated research and production framework, which includes a

pilot plant with production equipment on which the Kunitomi Plant’s machinery is based.

▪ With the new technology applied to this latest global record-breaking submodule, Solar

Frontier is planning to start mass production of CIS modules with much greater efficiency

at its Kunitomi Plant from this summer (annual capacity 900MW).


▪ 15

Roadmap CIGS module improvement

▪ Grids: + 2-3%

▪ 2nd buffer (ALD ZnMgO) + 1% (higher Voc by reduced interface recombination)

▪ K-PDT + 1% (several nm KF at RT)

▪ Band profile + 1% (graded bandgap, selenisation&sulphurisation)

▪ TCO optimisation + 0,5-1%

▪ Na-doping of buffer + x%

▪ Passivation + x% (ALD Al-oxide passivation)

▪ Thinner absorber - reduced cost

▪ Advanced / back end interconnect - added value at reduced cost

▪ Polyolefine replacing EVA - added value at reduced cost

▪ Low cost front encapsulation - added value at reduced cost

▪ Improved/predictable lifetime - bankability, added value at reduced cost

CIGS Efficiency roadmap

▪ Solibro (Manz, MiaSolé) now 15% monthly average, 16% monthly champion,

▪ Solibro 17,0% world record @ 0,94 m2 (production line + 1 additional step)

▪ Solibro 18,6% aperture area on 30x30 cm2; 21,0% on 1 cm2 (Solar Frontier 22,8%)

▪ Module target 2018: 18%, 2019: 19%, 2020: 20%

Recent Solliance achievements in CIGS

▪ Atmospheric processing: electrochemical CIG + elemental Se/ H2S

• Efficiency: absorber 15,6% (0,5 cm2), cell 15,0% (0,5 cm2)

• First fully in house produced, back end interconnected module : 5,8% (23 cm2)

▪ Large area spatial ALD on glass: uniform Al oxide for barrier/passivation

▪ Spatial ALD on PI foil: ZnOS buffer layer

▪ Back end interconnection: shunt free P3 laser scribing

▪ Degradation and life time: mechanisms wrt encapsulation and shadowing

▪ Integration: BIPV (PV OpMaat, BIPVPOD), SolaRoad
