Electroplating is a common manufacturing process that applies a thin layer of one metal onto another. The U.S. penny, for example, has been made of zinc with a thin, electroplated coating of copper ...

The solar industry has dragged its heels on the issue of silver-dependence for cell metallization, but China’s Jiangsu Xianghuan Technology (JXTC) is moving into commercial production with a copper ...

Sydney-based SunDrive Solar has achieved a copper plating production yield of more than 99% at its commercial pilot facility in Australia, turning the cells into modules. It has developed a cell ...

Fraunhofer ISE development also uses recyclable aluminum for masking – removing need for problem polymers. Thin copper contacts mean the silicon layer does not experience much shading. The rising ...
