Cost reductions in module production with TPedge
The TPedge module is a joint development by Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg and the Bystronic glass Group on the basis of a Fraunhofer patent. The wafer-based solar module can be produced much quicker and less expensively than standard wafer modules. The time and cost savings are a consequence of a simplified modular structure and a completely innovative production technology. "The cell array is locally fixed between two glass plates", says Dr. Harry Wirth, Head of Group Photovoltaic Modules, Systems and Reliability at Fraunhofer ISE. "The utilisation of foils and the associated laminating are not necessary." The edge sealing of the TPedge module is carried out via the application of the thermoplastic material TPS® at 130°C, even an additional aluminium frame is not necessary. Tobias Neff, Solar Product Manager at Bystronic glass explains: "The TPedge technology reduces the costs of the module production by 30 to 40 percent - at an aspired cycle time of 45 seconds per module line. As a result, the overall costs of a PV module can - depending upon the cost proportion of the solar cells - be reduced by approximately 14 percent."
