From 15 to 17 May, VON ARDENNE will present its latest solutions for the PV industry at the IntersolarEurope 2019 in Munich, one of the leading exhibitions for the solar industry, at booth 438 in hall C1. XEA|nova L8 – highly productive coating system with a throughput of more than 8000 wafers
per hour
For some years now, the solar industry is characterized by a high cost pressure in manufacturing.
VON ARDENNEs answer to that problem is the XEA|nova L8. This new coating systems makes use of
the proven VON ARDENNE coating technology for large areas and deposits the most homogeneous
TCO and metal layers on wafers for the production of heterojunction (HJT) and interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells. With a coating capacity of more than 8000 wafers per hour, it is the most productive coating system on the market and reaches a yearly production capacity of 350 MWp. Furthermore, it has a target utilization of more than 80 percent, that render this machine ideal for high
XENIA – built for gigawatt lines
The XENIA, which is the VON ARDENNE workhorse for thin-film photovoltaics, benefits just as much from our decades of experience in large-area coating as the XEA|nova. The XENIA is suited for the deposition of metal, ceramic or absorber layers needed for the production of CIGS or CdTe solar modules. Substrate widths of up to 3 m, cycle times of 20 seconds, a target utilization of more than 80 percent and the ability to heat up quickly for quick availability are features that guarantee maximum productivity at minimum costs. Thus, the XENIA is equipped to reach an annual production capacity of more than 1 GWp.
