Products well-positioned for new cell technologies
As described in the Company’s January 22, 2021 news release, our widely used measurement products have been accepted and are being used in production for the next generations of high-efficiency solar cells, termed Heterojunction Technology (HJT) and Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contacts (TOPCon). At SNEC, the Company also introduced a new release of our product line for HJT solar cell transparent conductive oxide measurement, the TCM-120 and TCM-121. Like the DM series of products, these are based on the Company’s patented IR technology. The leading research firm for the solar products manufacturing market, Solar Media, projects that HJT and TOPCon manufacturing capacity will grow more than 20-fold over the next five years as they supplant the currently dominant PERC cell technology. With our TCM and DM products, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on this rapid growth, and at SNEC we received strong interest in the DM and TCM products from multiple solar cell manufacturers of these next-generation solar cells. Additionally, AST has recently implemented DM product enhancements at selected customer locations. These have systematically improved product performance and utility and we are now advancing toward acceptance at these customers to ensure that we are well positioned for the next buying cycle later in 2021 and into 2022.
