Intevac’s LEAN SOLAR™ is a high-efficiency, low-cost thin film solar cell equipment solution designed with Intevac’s lean thinking principles. With our twenty year track record of delivering market-leading, high-productivity deposition systems for hard drive disk media, Intevac’s LEAN SOLAR now offers customers the same advanced, superior quality, high-reliability system for your PV applications.
LEAN SOLAR can perform single substrate processing for precise process control with a throughput of 1000 cells per hour (process time dependent). LEAN SOLAR’s sequential processing has the ability to run double-sided deposition and can handle standard cell sizes for glass, silicon, and metal substrates. LEAN SOLAR has the ability to run two applications: CIGS, on either glass or stainless steel substrates, and Multi-layer Anti-Reflective Coating (ARC) passivation coating for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. LEAN SOLAR offers a low barrier to entry, and its unique system architecture enables multiple configurations. In addition, Intevac’s lean design offers another big benefit: a small footprint.
