CHAPTER 2- MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Solar ingot is produced from high-quality mono-crystal seed (single Si-crystal). The crystal seed is introduced in
a polysilicon melted at high temperature of the order of 1425 Deg. C in a cylindrical crucible made of graphite
and quartz. Polysilicon melt will be in contact with the quartz. On introduction of the seed crystal in the polysilicon
melt, crystallisation occurs due to a slight drop in temperature. The seed crystal is pulled upwards and single
mono-crystal clings to the seed crystal as a cylinder. By regulating the temperature, rate of pulling and speed, a
silicon mono-crystal is pulled – whose structure is identical to that of seed crystal – in the form of ingots.
2.2.2. Crushing
Polysilicon can be received either in the form of stone or powder. The polysilicon stones are required to
be crushed into smaller particles for better heating in the melting process.
2.2.3. Melting
The next stage is to melt the polysilicon. The polysilicon is charged into an electrically heated crucible.
The polysilicon is melted at 1425 ⁰c. The molten silicon is cooled gradually and seed mono silicon crystal
mounted on a rotating shaft is introduced from the top. The melt solidifies at the seed crystal and adopts
the orientation of the crystal. The crystal is rotating and pulled upwards slowly, allowing the formation
of a large, single-crystal cylindrical column- ingot from the melt. To prevent the formation of impurities,
the process is conducted in inert atmosphere line argon. The quality and length of the ingot is controlled
by maintaining temperature, rate of pulling shaft upwards and rotational speed.
The quality and length of the ingot is controlled by maintaining temperature, rate of pulling shaft upwards
and rotational speed. With the latest production equipment, ingot length can be from 200 mm to 2000
mm. Upon rod formation, the ingot is cooled and taken form quality check. Rod length, diameter,
resistivity, oxygen and carbon content, dislocation are measured and qualified rods are moved ahead for
wafer manufacturing.
2.3.1. Machining
6
The ingot produced is conical from both ends due to pulling process. Hence both ends of the ingots are
truncated and ground to achieve desired surface finish. The bar is further cropped from four sides. The
cylindrical bar is now in brick form. Dimensions and surface will be inspected. The rejected silicon is
reused by melting in the crucible.
The cylindrical ingot would be transferred through roller conveyors, however, Automated Guided
Vehicles could also be used for after machining of the ingot. Hence a resin plate is attached to a plane of
the ingot bar.
– The average thickness of N-type silicon wafer cell is 140 μm. Diamond wire is used to slice the bar into
small wafers. Diamond wire cutting is fast, wears less and environment friendly. The diameter of the
diamond wire used to cut photovoltaic silicon wafers is 50 ~ 65 μm.
2.3.4. Wafer Debonding
The cut wafer are dipped into the lactic acid bath. The adhesive between wafer and resin plate expands
after absorbing lactic acid and the resin plate separates from wafers. Wafers also gets separated form each
other in the process.
2.3.5. Cleaning
The wafers are cleaned for any impurities such as silicon fumes, cutting fluid, organic layer, oxidation
and metal power using cleaning agent and ultrasonic waves.
– This is the last stage in the wafer manufacturing. The wafers are inspected for any surface defect by using
visual inspection as well as electro luminated inspection. The accepted wafers are sorted using automated
sorting machines are sent for cell manufacturing.
2.4.2. Texturing
Texturing is the process of etching the surface of the wafer by anisotropic (directional dependent) which
creates a pyramidal serration thereby increasing the surface area to capture the incident light at different
angles resulting to minimise the losses caused by the complete reflection of the light. Texturing is done
by wet etching with both the alkaline and acidic solutions by using KOH, HF & H2O2.
The diffusion is a process of introducing the dopants into silicon via high-temperature thermal processes
is one method in which silicon wafers are doped with extrinsic elements such as boron or phosphorous
in a gaseous or liquid phase to form a p-n junction. N-type cell will be doped with Phosphorus (P) and
PERC P- type cell will be doped with boron (B) to form a p-n junction.
Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system is one of the methods used in the recent
times.
This stage can be divided further as follows
Primary Boron Expansion – In this process, the required dopant (Boron) is diffused into the surface of
silicon wafer at high temperature.
Secondary Expansion (SE) – in SE, the energy from laser is used to melt the part of surface of silicon
wafer and P element from PSG is doped in the melted portion of the silicon wafer.
Secondary Boron Expansion – This process is mainly to push the silicon wafer in diffusion furnace to
form the emmiter of P/N junction.
In edge isolation, removal of PSG (Phosphorus silicate glass) and RCA cleaning is the process of wafer
cleaning which removes the doped material on the edges and other sides of the wafer.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition and passivation technology which is used to
fabricate ultrathin, highly uniform and conformal material layers on complex, three dimensional objects
with atomic precision. ALD uses alternating, self-limiting surface controlled chemical reactions between
gaseous precursors and a surface to deposit material in an atomic layer-by-layer.
Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is one of the processes for depositing a variety
of thin films at lower temperatures. Silicon nitride (SiNx) layer, positive charge is introduced for n-type
surfaces and aluminium oxide (AlOx) is used in the rear passivation of p-type surfaces.
This involves the application of three different metallization paste types onto the c-Si cell.
The first paste is the front side silver used on the side that faces the sun, creates the collector gridlines
and silver bus bars, and the second is the rear side tabbing silver or silver-aluminium, and the third is
rear-side aluminium paste that reacts with silicon to create the back surface field.

2.4.9. Inspection
Following screen printing and drying, solar PV cell undergoes visual and performance inspection
process. Visual inspection will be carried with AOI (Automatic Optical inspection) and EL
(Electroluminescence) where the cells are imaged and analysed for cracks, uniformity, dimensions, area
defectors, bus bars and finger interruptions. In a final stage, the solar cells undergo performance testing
with I–V Curve parameters in a solar simulator station.
Based on the cell colour, size and defects identified in the above process, solar cells are sorted and
redirected to either corrections or scrapped through automated conveying systems with the help of plant
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) Solar cells become a raw material for manufacturing of solar
module are further conveyed and packed.
2.5. Solar Module Manufacturing
Module manufacturing is the process of converting solar cells to solar module which generates power. This is
the final process of solar value chain.
The detailed material flow for the solar module manufacturing is described below.
2.5.1. Cell cutting
Cell cutting is the process of slitting the solar PV cells to the required size based on the module size and
power output of the solar module. Cell cutting is slitted with laser under controlled temperature with
minimal heating and thermal effects.
Post cell cutting the Solar cells goes through the tabbing and stringing. The tabbing is the process where
the cells are connected in series with the coated copper wires and these connected arrays of cells are
called strings and process is called stringing.
2.5.4. Lay-up
2.5.5. Layup is an automation process where the glass, back-sheet, EVA and string of cells are placed one over
the other as sandwich layers for further process.
2.5.6. Bussing.
Bussing is connecting the positive and negative terminals of each cell and joining the cell strings to the
power output terminal i.e., junction box of the solar module with the help of ribbons.
Two different techniques followed by the manufacturers are
2.5.6.1. Manual bussing
2.5.6.2. Automatic bussing.
Automatic bussing has more advantages over the former as it is designed to handle the cells with car,
minimizing the risk of cracks, scratches or other damage that could effect the performance and durability. By
adopting the auto bussing, manufacturers can produce more panels in less time, reducing costs and increasing
9
production volumes while maintaining quality.
Automatic Optical inspection (AOI) and Electroluminescence (EL) the modules are checked for cracks,
spots and defects in tabbing, stringing and bussing process before the lamination process. If the module
found with any above said defects, module is directed for re-work thorough automated conveyors.
2.5.8. Lamination
During the Lamination process, the layered Solar module is fed to the lamination machine in which the
air between the layers is vacuumed out and heated at ~150º C. Post lamination the module will go through
intermediate checks and trimming of excessive EVA and back-sheets.
Framing incudes fixing of aluminium frames on all sides of the module and applying adhesives and
sealants along the sides of module for gluing the frame. Later module moves for fixing of junction box
with the bus bar of the module.
2.5.10. Curing
Curing of module happens in the cooling chamber under controlled temperatures with dry air below 30º
C that ensures the proper adhesion and bonding between the layers of the module and frames post
applying of RTV (Room temperature vulcanizing) sealant.
AOI & EL test is carried out for cracks, spots and defects post lamination, framing and curing. For
performance checking the panel is moved to the sun simulator that provides the illumination
approximating the natural sunlight based on artificial irradiation and therefore the reproduction of the
standard conditions of temperature, irradiance and spectrum in which the module works.
In Sun simulator IV parameter is measured to read and check the power and efficiency of the module
and immediate feedback there by ensuring the quality of the module.
Based on the module capacity, type (mono-facial, bi-facial), size and defects identified in the above
process, solar modules are sorted and redirected to either corrections or scrapped through automated
conveying systems with the help of plant MES (Manufacturing Execution System.
Solar modules are further packed and stored in the designated area and racks.
