Solar Tools

Mustang offers a range of vacuum deposition systems optimized for the unique challenges of the latest generation of thin film photovoltaic. Building on our long history of custom vacuum system solutions Mustang offers tools optimized for thin film solar processes.

Utilization, Uptime, and Yield

Delivering truly high yield vacuum deposition systems requires the careful consideration of not only source utilization but optimizing preventative maintenance cycles and simple robust substrate loading. The largest impact on manufacturing throughput is scheduled down time such as frequency of source material changes, substrate loading and unloading cycles and routine maintenance. Mustang Solar designs and engineers our systems to balance these factors to achieve unparalleled uptime and throughput.

Next Generation

Mustang Solar continues to create industrial scale solutions for the next generation of industrial photovoltaic production challenges.  We provide vacuum deposition solutions for both pilot and production scale manufacturing.

Mustang Solar routinely collaborates with customers to help select and optimize deposition sources, system architecture and manufacturing line optimization to ensure these latest technologies achieve the highest levels of uniformity and manufacturing uptime.
