Workshop

The 11th edition of MIW will take on May 8 & 9, 2023 in the beautifull town of Neuchâtel in Switzerland, with a possibility for online participation. We are looking forward to meeting you to discuss the latest trends in metallization and interconnection of crystalline silicon solar cells. 

The workshop program includes oral and poster presentations that address the following main topics:

• Metallization fundamentals: insights, limits, understanding, modelling
• Progress in screen printing and alternative deposition methods
• Novel paste formulation (incl. Cu, Al) and novel screen types
• Metallization for advanced cell concepts (e.g. TOPCon, SHJ, IBC, Perovskite-Tandem)
• Study and improvement of solar cell soldering or alternative methods
• Shingling and other zero-spacing interconnection schemes
• Conductive adhesive interconnections
• Durability and degradation issues of metallization and interconnection
• Availability and sustainability of metals, recycling and circular economy
