First Solar advised that its thin-film Series 3 PV modules have met the standards and, therefore, listed by Underwriters Laboratories for UL1703 and ULC1703. The certification allows the modules to be used in PV systems up to 1,000V. Previously, the modules were UL listed as meeting the 1703 standards for use in PV systems up to 600V.

“First Solar is pleased that UL has validated the quality and safety of our modules, which are the first thin-film PV modules to receive this certification," said Tom Kuster, First Solar vice president of product management and system technology.

Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual

In the ever-changing global solar markets, cost reduction and measures to increase cell efficiencies are the key tools available to PV manufacturers to create new opportunities and drive your business to the next level. Manufacturing the Solar Future 2013 is the third in the Photovoltaics International PV Production Annual series, delivering the next instalment of in-depth technical manufacturing information on PV production processes designed to help you gain the competitive edge.
