Worldwide partnership between Air Liquide and Sixtron for crystalline-Si solar cells
This exclusive agreement will allow Air Liquide to complement its existing ALOHA™ range of advanced precursor materials and propose a new value-adding gas solution to its c-Si photovoltaic customers worldwide.
Sixtron is a Canadian company whose focus is developing scalable and cost-effective industrial coating systems that improve the performance of solar cells.
The Silexium™ process solution combines proprietary precursor molecules with the SunBox™ gas generation system to deposit new solar cell films.
The agreement will leverage Air Liquide’s leading position in the photovoltaic industry supply chain. Manufacturers of c-Si solar cells in more than 20 countries do already benefit from Air Liquide materials management and on-site services infrastructure, enabling them to now rapidly deploy the Silexium™ technology to mass production.
