JPSA
Thin Film PV Scribing

MANCHESTER, N.H., June 27, 2008 -- J. P. Sercel Associates (JPSA) has officially entered the thin film photovoltaic (PV) scribing market. They now deliver workstations for processing solar thin film PV products.

JPSA’s newly-introduced PV-5000 is a laser workstation dedicated to PV thin film solar scribing. The company will sell these systems to PV product manufacturers globally, with the first system deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

This rapidly-growing and vital thin film PV market is a direct result of the increasing demand for clean energy PV products. JPSA’s PV-5000 systems have the ability to laser machine high-efficiency solar thin film panels that cost significantly less to manufacture than current silicon-based PV panels.JPSA.jpg

“JPSA has long been in the forefront of developing processes and systems that advance ‘greener’ technologies. We have worked constantly to improve the efficiency as well as the yields of products such as LEDs and photovoltaics,

says Jeffrey Sercel, CEO of JPSA. “In this instance, new developments in PV film technology, coupled with the higher accuracy of laser scribing and edge deletion, have increased the electrical output of these new types of solar cells.

This is important because their lower comparative cost to silicon-based solar cells, and the ability to manufacture them in larger panels, make them more accessible to an increasingly energy-hungry world.”

According to Sercel, the increasing cost of silicon has spawned a number of new ventures exploiting thin film approaches for manufacturing photovoltaic panels.
