IBC Solar Cells
Vacuum Coating Equipment & Expertise

The world's most powerful PV modules today are made from IBC solar cells. IBC stands for interdigitated back contact. And the name gives away the special feature of these cells: their  electrodes are located on the back.

This eliminates the otherwise visible metallic strips on the front, which has advantages for the efficiency and aesthetics of the cells.

We offer you suitable equipment so that you can produce the required thin films with PVD technologies cost-effectively and in high quality. Different materials like TCO (ITO, AZO), titanium, copper and aluminum can be deposited with one system.
