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:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
