Centrotherm 光伏公司通过改善晶硅处理程序使电池和组件达到了新的转换效率记录

德国Centrotherm SiTec公司，一个由德国Centrotherm  AG集团完全控股的子公司，通过改善多晶硅硅锭熔炉中的晶体化程序使得该公司的电池和组件效率达到了一个新的记录。平均的电池效率达到16.6%，而最高效率可以达到17%。这些测试结果是在试生产中常规生产状态测试得到的结果。
与此同时，市场上其他类似竞争者的同类多晶硅材料光伏电池效率多为16.3-16.4%之间。通过这种新的技术改进，centrotherm公司成本比原来的程序降低了8%。当这种电池制成组件后，该公司组件功率为236Wp，而同等产品的其他竞争对手相应的组件功率一般都为210-220Wp。

23.08.2010: centrotherm SiTec GmbH, a 100 percent subsidiary of centrotherm photovoltaics AG, has achieved a new cell efficiency record through an improved process in its crystallization furnace to produce multi-crystalline ingots. Average efficiencies of 16.6 percent, and a peak result of up to 17.0 percent, were achieved under regular production conditions on a pilot line. The standard market levels usually achieved are between 16.2 and 16.4 percent on multi-crystalline material. centrotherm
SiTec also cut manufacturing costs by eight percent with the new crystallization process compared with the previous process sequence. At the module level, values of around 236 Watt peak (Wp) per module were recorded ? which usually stand at market levels from 210 to 220 Wp. …
