Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell vs. DSSC

In manufacturing crystalline silicon solar cells, Electrical contacts are usually formed by screen printing. The firing is done in conveyor belt furnaces at a temperature of about 700°C for a few minutes. Upon firing, the organic solvents evaporate and the metal powder becomes a conducting path for the electrical current. For crystalline silicon solar cells, Torrey Hills Technologies recommends our HSG Series Photovoltaic Drying Furnace or our HSH Series Photovoltaic Fast Response Furnace. In manufacturing DSSC, TiO2 nanoparticles have been used extensively to increase the interfacial surface area in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. Nanoparticle films are generally made by screen printing a paste of titania nanocrystals and then sintering the particles together at 450-500°C. For DSSC, Torrey Hills Technologies recommends our HSG Series Photovoltaic Drying Furnace, HSH Series Photovoltaic Fast Response Furnace, or our HSK Series Photovoltaic Fast Response Furnace.
