METHOD FOR METALIZING SOLAR CELLS, HOT-MELT AEROSOL INK, AND AEROSOL JET PRINTING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel method for applying conductive structures to solar cells, wherein at least one aerosol jet printing system atomizes a hot-melt aerosol ink and expresses said ink from the printing system in the direction of the solar cell, wherein the printing system is at least partially heated in order to keep the viscosity of the ink used at a low level. Upon impacting the non-heated substrate (solar cell), the ink hardens.
