    Abstract: Gas supply systems and methods are disclosed for solar cell production using multiple parallel reactors. A first gas supply control system has a gas panel having a plurality of gas outlet lines, supplying a first main supply line having a main line mass flow meter measuring the combined total gas mass flow rate in the first main supply line. First, second and third branch lines supplied by the first main supply line each branch line having mass flow controller and one or more control loops established between the mass flow meter and the branch line mass flow controllers. In addition, a second gas supply control system may be coupled to the first gas supply control system to avoid mixing certain gases before they enter the respective reactors to which they are supplied.
