As the solar power generation system expands, researches on the development and production technology of solar modules are being actively conducted. In addition, in the production of polysilicon for solar modules, a high-purity carbon electrode is essential, which greatly affects the performance and productivity of the solar module. This research is about the development of a carbon electrode used to manufacture high-purity polysilicon rod, which is essential for the manufacture of the photovoltaic modules. Fine graphite chuck is used as a carbon electrode. Generally, it is a consumable material that is used once and discarded. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an assembly-type high purity graphite chuck that can recycle some resources to dramatically improve the utilization of resources. In order to maintain the purity and performance of polysilicon, the composition and performance of the graphite chuck are important. The fine graphite chuck is manufactured through the high-purification process after precision machining, and the performance is confirmed through the component analysis of the specimen. At about 5,000 nm or more from the surface, the compositions of the sample appeared almost constant, and a high purity sample satisfying the target specification was obtained. In addition, it was confirmed that the cost reduction could be achieved by designing the graphite electrode as a separable type, and the results of this study can be applied to the design of the fine graphite chuck for the production of high purity polysilicon.

Floating PV generation system, renewable energy power plant, is able to overcome the disadvantages of ground PV generation system and improve generating efficiency. The frame structural system is an established technology among a diversity of structural technologies which has been developed for related fields. In this paper, the both structural safety and characteristics of floating PV generation structures depend on the different placement angle of solar module are investigated to improve the commercial viability, the structural safety, and characteristics of floating PV generation structures. In addition, for the estimation of structural safety, FE analyses are conducted. From the results, the lower placement angle of solar module improves the structural safety of floating PV generation system.

This study presents the tracker structural composition system for the effective angle variation of solar module. Also, the structural performance is evaluated through the structural modelling and analysis and the field application is considered.
