InnoLas unveils new laser technology for solar cell manufacturing

German laser technology developer InnoLas has launched a new automated laser technology with an integrated soft wafer breaking process to produce half cells or quarter cells for later module assembly. According to the company, the ILM2 machine, which can be used as a stand-alone or in-line system, enables solar manufacturers to reduce the cell-to-module losses during module assembly. »When using half or quarter cells instead of full cells – the company said - the impact of the cell resistivity in one string can be lowered due to the reduction of the photo-induced current per unit cell.«
