Cleaning Thin Film Solar Modules

Question:
How does poor cleaning of thin film solar modules during manufacturing impact cost and yield?

Answer:
Poor cleaning of thin film solar modules can result in increased cost and reduced yield due to module faults from low electrical resistance between cells across laser scribe patterns; short circuits between cells in a module; and reduced steady state efficiency after extended light exposure to a module.

Substrates must be cleaned at the start of manufacturing AND after each significant residue creating process during manufacturing. Need help?
