Improving solar cell quality and yield


The solar industry is an expanding market with ever growing demands on the quality and performance of its products. Producers of solar cells are pushing to reduce the cost of solar energy to the level of traditional energy sources. Reducing costs through producing an increased number of units and improved performance is considered to be a necessary requirement for this. Temperature measurement quality is therefore decisive in improving process control and optimization, as is adhering to ever tighter tolerances.
