PV activities
Based on years of experience with numerous compact, laboratory-type coaters for the development of thin films for photovoltaic cells, Leybold Optics has shipped several large production coating systems for glass and flexible substrates to well known players in the thin film solar community. Having initially specialised on the high rate deposition of transparent conductive oxide materials and metals, Leybold Optics is currently in the process of extending its product range towards the light absorbing layers, aiming both at thin film silicon and CIGS solar cells, with equally strong emphases on rigid and flexible substrate types.
