Ascent MS optimizes power delivery and lowers costs for
crystalline silicon PECVD processes in the production of solar
cells
Advanced Energy (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly
engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control
solutions – today introduces its new industry-leading Ascent® MS
multi-output power supply system. Designed to enable the lowest
system and infrastructure costs in the industry for solar
photovoltaic (PV) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)
systems, the Ascent MS builds on Advanced Energy’s long legacy of
bringing power system innovation to the manufacturing of advanced
solar cells.

The Ascent MS supports up to five independent chambers of
passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) PECVD processes in a
single unit, optimizing power delivery and simplifying the
deposition system design. The power system’s quick-connect power
outputs, single point of control and minimized need for water and
input power connections make for an optimized coater
infrastructure. This enables faster coater installation, higher
manufacturing line reliability and lower cost per coater. By
supporting multiple tubes, the Ascent MS allows solar PV equipment
manufacturers to develop more cost-effective systems that require
less electrical and mechanical infrastructure than existing
solutions.
“The manufacturing of PERC solar cells is an exceptionally
competitive market,” said Dave McAninch, director of strategic
marketing, Advanced Energy. “Our Ascent MS takes the economics of
power delivery to a new level by delivering a system-level solution
designed specifically for today's market needs."
PERC has become the dominant solar cell technology shipped in
the past few years and has driven down the levelized cost of energy
(LCOE) significantly. By providing the industry with system
solutions that continue to deliver better economics to the market,
Advanced Energy has long been a leader in the solar PV
manufacturing equipment market and is well-positioned to meet the
evolving technology demands of the solar cell market, including
heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer technology (HIT), with a
broad portfolio of market-leading solutions, including RF, AC, DC
and remote plasma source technologies.
Features of the Ascent MS include:
- Up to five outputs per power system
- 15kW, 20kW, 30kW models to meet the evolution in PERC
technology and manufacturing
- Single point of communication, water, I/O and AC power input
for all five power outputs
- Independent ON/OFF times, arc parameters and setpoints for each
output
- Modular power connectors for rapid installation
