EU PVSEC: SEMI Europe Standards Merit Award 2009 goes to PV EIS Taskforce

SEMI Europe / PV Group has announced and presented the SEMI Europe Standards Merit Award 2009. The award was presented by Anton Milner, CEO of Q-Cells, to the PV EIS Taskforce at the EPIA/SEMI PV Standards Technical Committee meeting on 22 September.

The award goes to the team for their year and a half of work on developing the "SEMI PV2 Guide for PV Equipment Communication Interfaces" that presents the framework to Standardize PV Manufacturing Equipment Communication Interfaces.

SEMI PV2 standard, published in July 2009, defines a unified equipment communication interface for PV production systems, and is expected to provide shorter ramp-up times, increased functionality, simplified requirement specifications, and increased potential cost savings for manufacturers.

"It is first time since the award was established in 2001 that it is presented to an entire team for their work. It is well deserved, congratulations!" said Carlos Lee from SEMI Europe PV Group.
