The worldwide growth of photo-voltaic is closely tied to a reduction of production costs per Wp (peak power by maximum of sun radiation). The laser machining of thin film solar cells is a key technology for innovations in this field of solar cell production. On one hand it is possible to replace older, conventional production technologies to realise more efficiency for the solar cell products. On the other hand new and modern laser technologies open the door for more cost reduction potentials for the industrial thin film solar cell production. The following contribution offers a representative survey of the actual state of the art in PV thin film production using lasers and introduce a modern and innovative laser separation process for PV thin film modules.
