PVD Deposition

TALON PV’s proprietary front and back PVD deposition process creates many advantages including A) more uniform and efficient layering B) eliminates the use of Silane (SiH4) and Phosphine (PH3), providing substantial benefits for environmental safety and permitting requirements.

PVD vs LPCVD = Lower current leakage, less wrap-around,

fewer dark edges.

High-Quality PVD produces highly uniform, dense, and pure thin films, ensuring better optical and electrical properties.

Precise Control Layer thickness and composition can be controlled with high precision, which is crucial for multi-layer solar cell architectures.

Environmentally Friendly Unlike some chemical methods, PVD avoids the use of harmful precursor gases or liquids.

Technology Roadmap and R&D

AI & Machine Learning

AI-driven optimization is being used to enhance production yields, identify defects during manufacturing, and predict long-term cell + panel performance. Continual improvement.

Perovskite & Tandem Structures

We have designed our facility in anticipation of supporting Perovskite & Tandem tooling.

By adding a layer of Perovskite to our cell we can increase efficiency from 26% to ~32%

We anticipate that industrial-level TRL will achieve commercial viability within the next two-four years

4-T (four-terminal) cell configuration

TALON is actively monitoring 4-T PeroSicell research.

High efficiency potential for better extraction, each cell operating at its own maximum power point (MPP) •4-T design can more effectively utilize a broader spectrum of light; each cell can be tailored to specific wavelengths

Better performance in a partial shade environment reduced current mismatching over T-2

Heterojunction HJT

We are considering HJT for our phase two expansion in 2028.
