Two objectives towards industrialization are the acceleration of the laser process and the feasibility of module assembly. An ultrafast polygon scanning system and comprehensive simulations enabled process times tpro < 0.8 s for 156x156 mm² wafers, which corresponds to an acceleration of processing speed by a factor of 20. An easy-to-apply possibility to realize the electrical interconnection between foil metallized cells, is the single-side coating of the aluminium foil using a special treatment. This process could be carried out before the foil attachment to the solar cell, which allows the usage of a fast and cheap role to role production tool. The created soldering pads are compatible with conventional interconnection techniques and modules assembled with this technique passed the humidity-freeze (HF10) and temperature-cycle (TC200) test successfully.enPV Produktionstechnologie und QualitätssicherungSilicium-PhotovoltaikKontaktierung und StrukturierungprocessingmetallizationPERCconference paper
