Laser edge deletion in CdTe module production
Laser edge deletion (LED) based on large-focus laser ablation effectively prepares CdTe thin-film modules for subsequent hermetic sealing to ensure the modules' longevity. 4JETs EDS-HP achieves high ablation rates of up to 40 cm²/s with on-the-fly scanning for highest throughput.
A clean and undamaged glass surface in the edge area of CdTe modules, produced by means of laser edge deletion (LED) from 4JET, is an essential prerequisite for durable CdTe thin-film modules. The clean glass surface at the edge of the thin-film solar module protects the active layers of the module from environmental influences, acts as a barrier against moisture and steam and thus ensures reliable modules. The contactless laser edge deletion has completely replaced the aggressive mechanical sandblasting or grinding processes.
