Abstract

There is a growing need for renewable energy sources, and solar power is a good option in many instances. Photovoltaic solar panels are now being manufactured via various methods, and different printing processes are being incorporated into the manufacturing process. Screen printing has been used most prevalently in the printing process to make solar cells, but some companies have used the offset web press type methods to put material onto foil; they also have created solar cells with inkjet printing. The printing of solar cells has helped to reduce manufacturing costs in most cases, and it also has increased the various applications in which solar power both is and can be used. Many more options for photovoltaic solar panels are available, and not simply the traditional ones that are often placed on rooftops. Such a variety of solar panels are partially to the result of the implementation of suitable printing processes during the production of these cells.

With ever-increasing political and economic oil conflicts as well as climate change, a growing need for renewable energy that comes from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, is warranted

Summary

Introduction

With ever-increasing political and economic oil conflicts as well as climate change, a growing need for renewable energy that comes from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, is warranted. The most common type of personal complace of screen printing to make electrical conputer printers use inkjet technology, and it is nections during the process of making more used widely in industrial applications such conventional crystalline silicon solar modules. The principle of offset lithography is that the oil-based ink only sticks to the hydrophobic image area on the Konarka’s Power Plastic uses inkjet printing and a web press application in some instances They use a type of coating process that is continuously rolled to get the right substrate combination of usable photographic film and organic polymers (Bullis, 2008). With the manufacture of solar printing is definitely a help for the solar-cell cells, certain principles of web offset printing are industry applied, and they are shown to greatly decrease costs and increase production capabilities

In these times of uncertain energy sources
