This $750k Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project aims to develop copper based pastes for the metallization of silicon solar cells. The outcomes of this proposal will be screen printable copper pastes that can be direct drop in replacement for the silver pastes; thereby enhancing the profit margins of the solar cell manufacturer.
