Solar Wafer Project Experience

What is a solar wafer?

A solar wafer is a thin slice of a cubic silicon ingot. It is further processed and fabricated into a solar cell, which forms the basic unit of a solar power system. The surface of a multicrystalline solar cell shows multiple crystal grains of random shapes and sizes in random positions and orientations.

How does epinex make solar PV wafers 'greener'?

The German company promotes the “greener” production of solar PV wafers via its EpiNex manufacturing solution that simplifies polysilicon production and reduces energy use. “This results in drastically lowered production costs for n-type monocrystalline wafers used for the majority of high-performing solar modules,” we’ve written previously.

Can n-type monocrystalline wafers reduce production costs?

“This results in drastically lowered production costs for n-type monocrystalline wafers used for the majority of high-performing solar modules,” we’ve written previously. NexWafe’s first 250 MW commercial facility is under construction in Bitterfeld, Germany.

What is a NexWafe wafer?

Our team is here to help. The NexWafe Wafer is ultra thin, highly efficient drop-in replacements for conventional 120-140 μm wafers, produced with for 50% less cost and with a 75% reduction in CO2 emissions.
