Research Details
One of the main research activities of the KPV-LAB is the development of high-efficiency solar cells, based on silicon wafers.
At KPV-LAB we focus on the following topics for the transparent contact development:
Our major aim is improving the performance of the photovoltaic devices by better temperature tolerance and light management. For this, we focus on the following topics.

The Octopus II system is the latest product generation of the OCTOPUS equipment portfolio. The OCTOPUS II combines a couple of all-new, impressive and proprietary reactor and system design developments such as the IRFE technology for exceptional stable plasma conditions, the Mirror reactor concept for the top and bottom deposition or the potential combination of the PECVD and PVD deposition mode in one system without any interruption of the process sequence.
