PRODUCT
EpiWafers
Kerfless monocrystalline silicon wafers THE NEED. PV module costs have to be reduced. 40% of PV module costs are associated with the cost of the wafer. Current wafer manufacturing processes have a very limited cost reduction potential. Disruptive technologies are needed to bring wafer costs down. THE SOLUTION. NexWafe uses Kerfless Wafer Technology for the production of high quality mono-crystalline n-type silicon wafers. EpiWafers are an economical drop-in replacement for Cz wafers in solar cell production. Full-square instead of semi-square, they have very low thickness variation and extremely narrow resistivity distribution. VALUE PROPOSITION. • Cost saving. • High solar cell efficiencies. • Higher power.
