Looking towards a Future of Affordable Solar Energy
Driving the global spread of renewable solar energy, French company S’Tile is developing an innovative solar cell, saving on manufacturing costs and enhancing performance compared to conventional designs. Known as the i-Cell, this device consists of four thin subcells interconnected in series on an integrated silicon substrate. Through utilizing a low-cost sintered silicon support, this saves on precious materials and leads to cost savings of 30%, while the subcell format reduces electrical resistive losses. The manufacturing process involves many steps, each of which must be carefully and individually optimized for maximizing solar cell performance, and the Olympus DSX500 and LEXT OLS4100 have proved instrumental in optimizing i-Cell fabrication.
Microscopy Solutions for Green Hydrogen Manufacturing
Green hydrogen production, a cornerstone of renewable energy, involves the electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. This process is complex, requiring precise engineering and materials science to optimize efficiency and durability. One critical aspect of this manufacturing process is the characterization of materials at the microscopic level. Here, our industrial microscopes emerge as indispensable tools.
The Future of Industrial Quality Control
Function often relates to form, and this holds particular truth within the world of manufacturing. Undergoing rigorous quality assessment procedures ensures that components are manufactured according to their precise specifications, before being assembled into the fully functioning whole. These assessments might include many tasks such as geometric product specifications (GPS), fracture analysis and surface roughness testing, and form the core of quality control in many manufacturing processes. As such, identical tasks may be performed across industrial sectors as diverse as medical engineering, electronics and the automotive industry.
