Photovoltaic products are devices and systems that convert sunlight into electricity using solar cells. Widely used in residential, commercial, and utility-scale renewable energy solutions. ATW has been highly focused on the PV industry for over 10 years, supplying intelligent PV equipment and reliable solutions for customers, covering four major sectors: ingot, wafer, cell, and module. Our products can be customized based on customers' needs and offered as a standalone machine or an integrated system.
An ingot is a solid block of high-purity silicon formed by melting and crystallizing raw silicon. It serves as the starting material for slicing into thin wafers, which are then processed into solar cells.
A wafer is a thin slice of silicon cut from a silicon ingot, used as the base for manufacturing solar cells. It provides the surface on which photovoltaic structures are built. Wafers are key to converting sunlight into electricity in solar panels.
A cell in photovoltaic technology refers to a single solar cell made from a silicon wafer. It converts sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Multiple cells are connected to form a solar panel.
A module, also known as a solar panel, is a group of interconnected solar cells encapsulated in protective materials. It generates usable electricity from sunlight. Modules are the building blocks of larger photovoltaic systems.
