Mersenall along the photovoltaic production chain

Mersen all along the photovoltaic production chain

“Photovoltaic” is the combination of two words: “photo” from Greek origin, which means light, and “voltaic”, from “volt”, the unit used to measure electricity.

Among all renewable energies photovoltaic benefits from many environment and economic advantages:• Unlimited renewable source of energy• Increasingly cost competitive• Decentralized power source• Peak power at peak time of usage• Environment friendly

• Large size rounds up to dia. 1500 mm in isostatic graphite 2020.• Trays or tubes up to dia. 2200 mm in Carbon/Carbon composite AM252• Rigid carbon thermal insulation CALCARB® and ISOLOR®

• Machining capacity and purification capabilities for large dimensions• Dedicated solutions to reduce chemical reaction with molten silicon

The sun, an energy available for free...Photovoltaic systems use cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity.When sunlight strikes a PV cell, electrons are dislodged, creating an electrical current.The most common semiconductor material used in photovoltaic cell is silicon, an element most commonly found in sand.The crystalline silicon technology, which distinguishes monocrys-talline, multicrystalline and ribbon sheets processes, represents approx. 90% of the market today.

Benefits of Mersen materials:• Grade consistency (inert and non-wetting to most chemicals)• Large diameters available up to 1.5 m in graphite and 2.2 m in

Carbon/Carbon composites for the whole range of products• High purity (less than 5 ppm), which avoids contamination and

allows high quality products• Dedicated high performance solutions to increase lifetime and

efficiency• Mersen materials offer strong benefits...

Thanks to its outstanding properties graphite is the unique and only material to withstand high

temperature, corrosion and the severe conditions on the silicon production process.

Other photovoltaic processes are now available on the market such as the thin film technology

where modules are constructed by depositing extremely thin layers of photosensitive materials onto glass, plastic or stainless steel.

Mersen is a world leader in isostatic graphite production, and proposes proven solutions

to each step of the photovoltaic production chain, from polysilicon feedstock to cells antireflective coating via thin film process. Its range of materials covers graphite, Carbon/Carbon composite as well as insulation materials.

• 2020 graphite crucibles, holders, heaters• Rigid carbon thermal insulation CALCARB®

and ISOLOR®

• AM252 carbon/carbon bolts & nuts• Large sizes • Excellent price to performance

• 2020 graphite carriers• AM252 carbon/carbon carriers• Large sizes • Mechanical stability • Adapted CTE

• Isostatic graphite grades 2124 UHP5, 2450 UHP5

• Rigid carbon thermal insulation CALCARB® and ISOLOR®

• Ultra high precision machining to ensure process stability

• Non wetting to silicon

• Purified graphite grades 2123PT, 2450PT, 2020PT

• SiC coating• Rigid carbon thermal insulation
