PRODUCTION START-UP OF 2 MW a-Si PV MANUFACTURING LINE AT SOVLUX PLANT
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the results of production start-up efforts at the 2MW Sovlux photovoltaic production line. Triple-junction solar cells with higher than 10% initial effXency were produced in this production line with subcell yield up to 96%. The production process demonstrated high reproducibility and consistency from run to run. 2 t? and 4 @ modules assembled in sovlux plant using these solar cell material have demonstrated an initial efficiency of 9.4%. The solar cell material produced in Sovlux was also shipped to ECD to assemble large area 1.3 fi. by 20 ft. roofiop modules. Lightweight, flexible rooftop modules with initial efficiency up to 9.3% were produced at a high yield.

Estimating Annual Synchronized 1-min Power Output Profiles from Utility-scale Pv Plants at 10 Locations in Nevada for a Solar Grid Integration Study
We present an approach to simulate time-synchronized, one-minute power output from large photovoltaic (PV) generation plants in locations where only hourly irradiance estimates are available from satellite sources. The approach uses one-minute irradiance measurements from ground sensors in a climatically and geographically similar area. Irradiance is translated to power using the Sandia Array P...

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. a Using a bottom-up cost model, we assess the impact of initial factory capital expenditure (capex) on photovoltaic (PV) module minimum sustainable price (MSP) and industry-wide trends. We find capex to have two important impacts on PV manufacturing. First, capex strongly influ...

In order to further improve the economies of scale which are inherent in ECD’s continuous roil-to-roll amorphous silicon alloy solar cell manufacturing process, we have developed a concept for a serpentine web plasma CVD deposition process to maximize throughput while keeping the size of the deposition chambers small. When this technique is incorporated into a continuous rollto-roll PV manufact...

Sandia National Laboratories has developed a modeling approach to simulate time-synchronized, 1-minute power output from large PV plants in locations where only hourly irradiance measurements are available via satellite sources. The approach uses 1-min irradiance measurements from analogue sites in a similar geographic area. PV output datasets generated for 2007 in southern Nevada are being use...
متن کاملTesting various food-industry wastes for electricity production in microbial fuel cell.
Three food-industry wastes: fermented apple juice (FAJ), wine lees and yogurt waste (YW) were evaluated in combination with two sources of inoculum, anaerobic sludge and garden compost, to produce electricity in microbial fuel cells. Preliminary potentiostatic studies suggested that YW was the best candidate, able to provide up to 250 mA/m(2) at poised potential +0.3V/SCE. Experiments conducted...
