End-to-end Manufacturing Lines
TEL Solars fully automated ThinFab 140 is the latest generation in thin-film solar module manufacturing lines with an annual production capacity of 140 MW. It includes three key components:
- TCO for depositing transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layers for front and back contacts
- KAI MT for plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to build the amorphous and microcrystalline photosensitive layers and
- LSS for laser patterning to produce serially connected cells.
In addition, TEL Solar says it is the only supplier of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) technology with haze on demand. This proprietary effect enables the trapping of light in the photovoltaic thin-film, maximizing conversion efficiency. These unique capabilities enhance the performance of the solar modules and directly reduce the cost-per-watt peak.

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
