Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "N-type single-Si photovoltaic cell, unspecified" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "N-type single-Si photovoltaic cell, unspecified" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

The production of N-type TOPCon solar cells involves processes such as texturing, boron diffusion, laser SE, oxidation, etching, back polishing, Poly tunnel oxide layer deposition, annealing, RCA cleaning, ALD coating, PECVD coating, screen printing, drying, sintering, light soaking, testing, and sorting. The manufacturing process of HJT solar cells includes texturing, cleaning, amorphous silicon thin film deposition, transparent conductive film deposition, and screen printing.

Process Description

This product represents a 1Wp N-type monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell. Photovoltaic cells convert light into electricity and serve as a key component of solar panels. Monocrystalline photovoltaic cells are generally more efficient than polycrystalline ones.
