Dr. Richard Zhang, President of Heraeus Greater China Regional Headquarters, noted that Heraeus, with its technical expertise and focus on innovation, is uniquely positioned to support this effort.
Heraeus, a key supplier for China’s photovoltaic industry, will continue backing the sector’s development with strong innovation and high quality products for superior solar cell performance. Heraeus will unveil two new products at SNEC 2016; SOL9631, a low-temperature front-side paste for PERC and ultra-fine line printing, and SOL326, a novel back-side silver tabbing paste enabling higher PERC solar cell efficiencies.
