Compound Thin Film Photovoltaic Energy Processing Equipment Technology Executive Achievements
The compound thin film photovoltaic energy processing equipment project will utilize the current PMC-owned technologies that resulted from independent research and development as the foundation. It will also integrate foreign advanced printing technology and nano-scale conductive paste with continuously extended innovative development in research and process development for specialized manufacture technology, which plays the key role that helps the domestic industry increase their technical level of CIGS thin film photovoltaic cell equipment and associated process capability improvement. The project will also proactively promote and apply the processing technology for key components of thin film photovoltaic cells in hopes of collaboratively developing low-pollution CIGS photovoltaic materials and related production equipment for the photovoltaic cell industry and subsequently produce green energy products.
The above mentioned CIGS thin film is eco-friendly and quiet without noise, air pollution or other hazardous substances produced during photovoltaic energy transformation. It can be renewable energy and is appropriate for the national industrial goal of sustainable development. It also strengthens the competitive edges of industrial technology and increases exporting market share and helps promote the application of PV made by the thin film photovoltaic cell industry for built-in photovoltaic (BIPV).
1.Compound thin film photovoltaic processing equipment technology
(1)Industrial environment analysis
The instant benefit of the photovoltaic energy by CIGS and others is emission reduction of CO2 for slowing down the global warming phenomenon. From the contents of the Kyoto Protocol, we can understand the demand from advanced countries for saving energy and the worldwide trend of saving energy and emission reduction of CO2. Because of the continuously increasing energy demand of developing countries, Taiwan also speeds up the developing progress of thin film photovoltaic cell technology and the demand for production equipment.
(2)Key role in industrial development
This project will utilize the current PMC-owned technologies resulting from independent research and development as the foundation. It will also integrate foreign advanced printing technology and nano-scale conductive paste with continuously extended innovative development in research and process development for specialized manufacture technology to help the industry build CIGS alloy powder production equipment and develop precision painting equipment processing technology. Thus it plays a key role in helping the domestic industry increase their technical level of CIGS thin film photovoltaic cell equipment and associated process capability improvement.
2.Positioning the Project
This project is positioned for the development of CIGS painting material production equipment and CIGS photovoltaic energy painting equipment. It will integrate existing technologies owned by domestic industry to increase self-sufficiency rate of equipment and accelerate the transformation of traditional industry into the development of photovoltaic cell industry.
