Torrey Hills Technologies And The Solar Cell Market

At one time, Torrey Hills Technologies sold in-line continuous furnaces mostly for thick film and brazing applications. Several years ago, in response to the growing demands of the solar manufacturing industry, the company’s engineers reinvented the original technology and adjusted it to different types of solar cell processing. A critical step in solar cell manufacturing is metallization through screen printing. By changing the specifications of thick film drying and firing furnaces, the company stepped comfortably into the solar cell market. Solar technologies have created compelling technical challenges and business opportunities for assembly and packaging engineers. The traditional thick film, thermal treatment and assembly techniques play key roles in solar cell manufacturing. Many skill sets possessed by electronics engineers can be easily reinvented and applied to the solar cell industry.   Like us on facebook and join our discussions.. www.facebook.com/torreyhillstechnologies
