Sun Innovations Develops Solar Cell Printing Technology

Russian firm, Sun Innovations has developed a new solar cell printing technology that will reduce production costs and enhance the quality of the solar panels.

Both cost and quality can be significantly controlled through accurate quantity and coverage of every working layer through a printing technology. Sun Innovations is currently testing more efficient structures as an alternative to conventional silicon material. The advancement will enable any kind of flat surface such as flexible substrates to be printed with a solar cell. The company will exhibit the new technology at 2011 end.

Sun Innovations is working closely with scientific institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences located in the Novosibirsk Technopark. RUSNANO as well as Russian and overseas investors are supporting the company. The solar panel printing technology is a part of Sun Innovations Group’s National Technological Platform, endorsed by the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Economic Development.

Sun Innovations experts developed a cost-effective and efficient UV-LED technology to produce UV-LED blocks for UV-printers. The company utilized this NEO UV-LED system to print on water in 2010. Sun Innovations develops and produces nanoinks and large-format digital printers.
