RASIRC Steamers Help Produce Solar Cells with 20.2 Per Cent Efficiency

RASIRC Steamers were found by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) to yield 20.2% efficiency in the production of back-contact silicon solar cells. Fraunhofer used the Steamer to deliver ultrapure water vapor for both its metal wrap through (MWT) and passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) solar cell manufacturing processes.
