Meyer Burger Technology Ltd today announced the conclusion of an order from an existing Asian customer for its MAiA® 6.1 platform which delivers throughput of over 6,000 wafers per hour for mass production scalable PERC technology.

Dr Hans Brändle, CEO of Meyer Burger, stated: "Today's announcement of a repeat order from a leading PV module manufacturer for our next generation MAiA® 6.1 signals the beginning of ambitious new PERC expansion plans by the solar industry."

Meyer Burger's CTO, Dr Gunter Erfurt, added: "Meyer Burger's proprietary passivation technology for PERC solar cells is based on our own IP which is patented in the EU as well as in China and Korea. The patents describe and claim the deposition method, the tool configuration, the process sequence as well as the resulting passivation structure on the solar cell. Thus, PERC solar cells processed on our leading MAiA® platform apply a significantly different passivation structure compared to the structure e.g. applied using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and are not in the scope of the recently filed patent infringement claim by a leading PV company against other solar manufacturers."
