Description
The Accuflect® IR reflector is a cutting-edge solution designed for solar cell thermal processing. This innovative product excels as a medium wave and short wave infrared reflector, delivering outstanding performance that extends well into the visible wavelengths. Its highly efficient diffuse reflection characteristics make it an indispensable component in the realm of solar cell manufacturing, catering to both crystalline and thin film segments of the industry.
In the intricate world of solar cell production, the Accuflect® IR reflector plays a pivotal role. It enables a range of processes that are crucial for the efficient manufacturing of solar cells. By utilizing short wave emitters with emission wavelengths ranging from 1 to 2 microns, this reflector allows for exceptionally high watt densities. Furthermore, the peak emission wavelength can be precisely "tuned" to align with the absorption spectrum of various solar cell materials, ensuring optimal energy transfer and process efficiency.
The advantages of integrating Accuflect® IR into solar cell fabrication processes are manifold. It provides more uniform infrared radiation within the heat process zone, allowing solar materials to perceive a planar emission source rather than a line or point source, thereby reducing process variability. Additionally, the refractoriness of the material eliminates the need for active cooling of the reflector surfaces, while its low thermal impedance facilitates tight process control loops. The cleanliness of high-temperature process zones is maintained, and the recuperative effect of reflection back onto the emitters significantly reduces electrical power input. Moreover, radiation emitted from the warm reflector surfaces aids in heating the solar materials, further enhancing process efficiency.
