"Equipment for flexible solar cells and parameters for coating and printing processes" — •Thomas Kolbusch — Solarcoating Machinery GmbH

The lecture titled gives an overview on flexible PV markets and possible products which could be made of flexible PV. The author compares different flexible technologies presenting advantages and still existing challenges. He also gives an outlook on the development of different technologies during the next years.

Furthermore a summary of different approaches in simultaneous engineering for scaling-up processes in renewable technologies is given. The author compares pros and cons of the batch approach in comparison to the roll-to-roll approach combined with an insight on different machine building concepts and news in that field, e.g. the Click&Coat* concept for highest flexibility in the field of pilot lines. Then he gives an outlook on possible production methods to bond flexible solar cells to flexible substrates and how to draw up consumer products. Another topic are parameters for coating and printing processes in the field of flexible electronics.

At the end the author summarizes the results of the above mentioned points.
