ersol Thin Film GmbH, a subsidiary of ersol Solar Energy AG (ES6.DE), and Schott Solar GmbH have concluded an agreement under which they will jointly develop micromorphous technology for thin-film solar cells.
The companies will combine their resources in the area of research and development with the aim of achieving faster product maturity and leading market position in micromorphous solar modules.
"Both companies will profit from this research alliance. We are anticipating a market lead of both partners in micromorphous thin-film modules based on our proven amorphous silicon technology," says Dr Martin Heming, Managing Director of Schott Solar GmbH.
ersol Thin Film and Schott Solar have both developed amorphous thin-film technology in the 1.4-square-meter Gen 5 format. Schott Solar has been successfully marketing Schott ASI thin-film modules for a number of years, and ersol Thin Film markets its amorphous modules under the brand name Nova-T.
