In this podcast you will learn how chemical
innovations from BASF help
to make solar energy more economical on its way being a sustainable 
contribution
to the worldwide energy supply.
As a part of the future energy mix with other energy sources solar
energy can make a sustainable contribution towards a low carbon 
society. In the production and improvement of the photovoltaic 
technology chemistry plays an important role. New kinds of cutting 
liquids optimize the cutting of the silicon ingots. Through the help 
of special etching
solutions the freshly cut silicon wafers are given a surface that 
guarantees optimal light-yield efficiency. New electronic chemicals 
are specifically designed to meet the requirements of solar cell 
production. Special lead-free silver pastes require no solvents and 
can be applied
contact-free with a new laser transfer process and completely 
different shapes will be possible through solar cell module frames 
made of polyurethanes (PU).
BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast 
service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research 
and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and 
entertaining way.
Listen to the audio reportage with Dr. Frank Haunert (Product 
Manager, Solar Cells BASF Singapore), Dr. Frank Kleine-Jaeger (Silver
Paste Project Manager BASF).
