Abstract :
The FP7 EU funded ALPINE project is focused on the processing of new type of thin film CdTe and CIGS photovoltaic modules by means of pulsed fiber laser scribing. The latest results of scribing tests performed for different laser parameters for P1, P2 and P3 steps in both CdTe and CIGS solar cells are discussed showing examples for CdTe module processing.
