NSG launches new TCO thin-film photovoltaic module coating product

NSG Group is an industry leader in TCO (transparent conductive oxide) coated glass for thin-film photovoltaic applications. Its TEC products include a group of products, including various TCO coated glasses, which are optimized to meet the needs of various thin-film photovoltaic technologies. According to different haze and conductivity levels, NSG's various TEC products are designed to achieve full flexibility of TCO coatings to meet the different needs of various manufacturers of thin-film modules.

Thin-film module manufacturers must maximize module efficiency while maintaining performance over their expected 25-year lifetime. However, the need to reduce costs has created a need for more economical coating solutions for high-volume applications.

Such TEC products can meet various conductivity, deformation and haze requirements to maximize module efficiency. Durable online pyrolytic coatings extend the shelf life of the product indefinitely, making it easier to transport, store, handle and process, reducing costs and delivery time. Such coating products can also withstand high processing temperatures, and there will be no damage to the coating during forging, consolidation or thermal curing, and the performance will not be affected. In addition, the multi-layer TCO coating stack also has excellent sodium barrier properties, which ensures that the performance of the module is not affected by migrating sodium from the glass cover layer. The product is suitable for all thin-film photovoltaic technologies, including amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem silicon (a-Si/μ-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and copper indium (gallium) diselenide (CIGS, CIS).
