Solar manufacturing refers to the fabrication and assembly of materials across the solar value chain, the most obvious being solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, which include many subcomponents like wafers, cells, encapsulant, glass, backsheets, junction boxes
With an incident irradiance of 1 kW m −2 (spectrum AM 1.5), the current density J PV reaches values of 10–40 mA cm −2 depending on the material used and the construction of the cell. The current I PV is directly proportional to the area of the cell such that, for example, a standard silicon cell 15. 6 × 15.6 cm 2 can generate a current of about 8 A.
