Thin-Film Photovoltaics

Vacuum Coating Equipment & Expertise

As a thin-film solar module manufacturer, you need coating equipment you can rely on  and that keeps pace with your growth. Ideally, the equipment manufacturer can support you with technology development, or with new components.

VON ARDENNE offers you proven PVD coating equipment, key components and technological know-how for all production stages of thin-film photovoltaics, from research to large-scale production.

Our laboratory and pilot systems use the same key components as our production equipment for the  industry. Thus, you can test your applications under laboratory conditions. And you will save time when you want to scale up your products.

The special competence we can offer you is the ability to provide solutions for complex thin film PV products. That would be, for example, handling glass substrates in different sizes, in a specific atmosphere and at challenging temperatures.
