7 Deposition I am Calyxo

8 QUICK we achieve deposition rates of a few µm/min semiconductor thickness orders of magnitude faster than other vacuum deposition processes CONTINUOUS the conveyor belt never rests since coating takes place as a continuous process Calyxo coating process in brief VACUUM-FREE the whole process takes place in atmospheric conditions COST-EFFECTIVE in terms of production and investment costs, the Calyxo coating process is the most cost-effective worldwide! A the module glass is inserted in the glass oven and heated up to process temperature B the CdTe coating itself takes place via a cadmium telluride gas stream that deposits itself on the surface of the module glass by changing from a gaseous state to a solid (desublimation) C the coated module glass is cooled in a controlled manner and removed from the glass oven for further processing Our patents Starting with our first patent application in 2004, the Calyxo patent portfolio has been developed further ever since. In addition to the atmospheric coating process, comprehensive trademark rights in numerous countries have been registered. The patent portfolio of Calyxo GmbH includes 40 granted patents and over 41 patent applications covering products, manufacturing processes and machinery concepts.

9 1,0 STC DC Power Output rel. to STC [%] CdTe C-Si Calyxo Energy Benefit 0, Temperature / C Temperature Coefficient Up to 9% more energy per year compared to competing PV plants due to the lower temperature coefficient. The temperature coefficient describes the performance behavior of a solar module with increasing module / and ambient temperature. Technology, Cross Section I am Calyxo

10 Cross section of a Calyxo module [1] Front glass [2] Front contact: highly transparent layer with excellent electrical conductivity for maximum light permeability and practically zero-resistance electricity transport [3] CdS-Layer 7 [4] CdTe-Layer [5] Back contact: highly stable, electrically conductive metal [6] Glass lamination film: waterinsoluble seal, safe protection against escape of contents (e.g. in case of any damage), secure sealing of the module edges [7] Back glass: specially hardened glass designed for long-term demands [8] Junction box: including solar cable and connector An innovative technology Calyxo s advanced manufacturing process and the modules design guarantee that no cadmium telluride will ever escape in a form that could be harmful to humans or the environment. Long term studies have shown that neither cadmium telluride nor cadmium sulphide can leak out of the modules. CdTe is water soluble and chemically inert. In case of fire, 99% of the Cd remains in the molten glass matrix. All relevant limits are clearly exceeded. 1

11 Carbon Footprint With the lowest CO 2 footprint and the shortest energy payback time, the thin film solar modules of Calyxo have a huge advantage to the environment and other solar technologies. Carbon Footprint I am Calyxo

12 Carbon Footprint in Comparison We are committed to our product responsibility, even in relation to the next generation and have integrated environmental protection into our overall thinking and acting. Our thin-film solar modules are the most eco-efficient throughout the solar industry. They produce clean energy, at the lowest cost, with the least impact on our environment. With the lowest CO 2 footprint and the shortest energy payback time, the thin film solar modules of Calyxo have a huge advantage to the environment and other solar technologies. Considering all electricity applications, the environmental impact of sustainable energy from photovoltaic in comparison to the average power generation using fossil fuels is up to a factor of 20 to 40 percent lower....in detail OA Balance System From an environmental point of view the BOS (Balance of System) is playing a more significant role, depending on the technology. In fact that the module technologies were becoming more efficient in the past, means that the environmental contribution of BOS becomes more pronounced to the overall result.
