Monocrystal launches new EFX-9X Series Aluminum Metallization Paste for PERC Solar Cells

Monocrystal EFX-9X series is an advanced solution for a dot laser pattern delivering an impressive PERC solar cell performance.

Monocrystal has announced the launch of its new EFX-9X series aluminum metallization paste for Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) solar cells, specially designed for a dot laser pattern.

The new optimized paste content does not damage a passivation layer, and brings up to 17% higher local contact efficiency, compared to our previous EFX-series pastes. This result in overall cell efficiency gain up to 0.1% said the company in a statment. Furthermore, the new product provides 30% lower consumption as compared to the market average, while maintaining high conductivity of an aluminum layer.

Monocrystal EFX-9X series is an advanced solution for a dot laser pattern delivering an impressive PERC solar cell performance. EFX-Series pastes are applicable for combined firing with other metallization components, and have good compatibility with other Monocrystal products.

 “In the light of current market trends and the growing demand for high-efficiency solar products we are striving to provide our customers with high-end solutions, such as a dot laser pattern for PERC solar cells. We are continuously upgrading our EFX-series metallization PERC-package in order to allow our customers maximize their product efficiency and production yields”, said Vyacheslav Golovin, CTO of Monocrystal Pastes Division.
