Latest Patent Applications
Torben Klinkert's notable patent application is titled "LAYER STACK FOR THIN-FILM PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF." This application describes a layer stack for thin-film photovoltaic modules that includes a back electrode, an absorber, a buffer/i-layer, a front electrode, and an interlayer. These components are sequentially stacked on a substrate through vacuum coating deposition. The design features a conductive metal grid embedded within the layer stack, which can be deposited on the buffer/i-layer before or after the Pstructure line. This innovative embedded grid allows for the deposition of the front electrode and interlayer without breaking the vacuum during the process, ultimately reducing capital expenditure and operating costs.
Conclusion
Torben Klinkert's work in thin-film photovoltaic technology showcases his commitment to innovation and efficiency in renewable energy solutions. His contributions have the potential to impact the future of solar energy applications significantly.
