Manufacturers Can Save Upto $5 Mn Per GW in Solar Projects With This Process
Better, the process, known as Configurable Current Cells (C3), needs no capital expense or adjustment in process for solar cell producers. Instead, the process requires solar cell manufacturers to make only minor changes in metalization print patterns and discerning doping. It offers cost savings of as much as 18% of silver needed. Consequently, this promises financial savings varying from $2 million to $5 million per GW at the existing costs of silver. Silver adds near to 10 percent in comprising the expense for a solar module.
