Advanced Solar Photonics, (ASP), a developer of laser scribing, laser marking, laser cutting, edge deletion & edge isolation laser systems for the solar industry, has started promoting the FL600, a thin-film solar cell processing system.
The FL600 is capable of direct fiber laser patterning on indium tin oxide (ITO), TCO, CTO, anti-reflective coatings on glass and PET plastic film as used in the flat panel display industry. ASP is utilizing this proven technology for solar applications. The FL600 is able to accommodate the conventional 2’ x 4’ size solar panels and is also available in a larger format with similar technology for the larger size solar panels. Additionally, the FL600 has an optional conveyor to assist in the maneuverability of fragile solar panel materials for continuous manufacturing.
“The FL600 is an easy to use machine and is ideal for high-tech applications such as edge deletion or isolation,” said Kristen Breunig, Market Manager for ASP. “ASP is privileged to have this technology which has been developed and utilized by our parent company, Fonon Technology International, in the flat panel display for over 15 years.“
As the solar industry moves towards the abundant and cost effective thin-film panels, it is increasingly necessary to develop equipment capable of processing the largest solar panels possible. Although thin-film is the most inexpensive, it is also is the least energy efficient, leading to the exponential increase in substrate sizes. Researchers have found that a ten times increase in substrate area only results in a 2.5 times increase in equipment costs. Advanced Solar Photonics not only offers standard equipment for marking, etching, scribing and edge isolation of smaller silicon solar panels but is now developing systems and equipment to process up to an eight foot (G8) thin-film solar panel.
ASP is located in a 318,000 square foot headquarters in Lake Mary, Florida employing an international team of technology driven professionals. Reaching out to the photovoltaic industry, ASP strives to lower manufacturing costs utilizing proven patented technology geared to improve and lower the cost per kilowatt. This technology is applicable to both the silicon and thin-film processes.
