WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Heraeus, an industry leading developer and manufacturer of silver metallization pastes for the photovoltaic industry, will be exhibiting its newest back-side paste, SOL205S, with significantly reduced silver content at this year’s SNEC 6th International Solar Industry and Photovoltaic Exhibition & Conference in Shanghai, China, May 16 - 18th (Booth 250, hall W3).
“With the increasing concern of silver, we created a back-side paste with reduced silver content that maintains excellent performance,” said Andy London, Vice President of Heraeus Precious Metals North America Conshohocken LLC in West Conshohocken. “We’re looking forward to speaking with customers about SOL205S.
Heraeus recognizes that silver is an important cost factor in the manufacturing of cells and therefore continues to reduce silver content and the amount of paste per cell. Heraeus has reduced the silver content of SOL205S to 52 percent, but the product maintains high performance with excellent adhesion, solderability and printability.
