NexWafe claims ‘transformative’ wafer production tech could compete with China

German solar wafer manufacturer NexWafe has announced “key milestones” in its epitaxial wafer production which it claims can reshape the solar supply chain and compete with traditional wafer manufacturing methods.

NexWafe said its EpiNex solar wafers achieved 24.4% efficiency on a commercial M6 heterojunction technology (HJT) cell production line, which it says represents “performance parity” with conventional Czochralski (CZ) wafers.
