FLEXcon and Spire noted that they have developed a new PV module design and bill of materials (BOM), which features FLEXcon’s multiGUARD backsheet. The BOM was recently granted the Master UL Listing by Underwriters Laboratories with both companies noting that UL tested and evaluated Spire’s solar module design and deemed that it had met UL 1703 standards for safety and performance.

“Backsheets are a key component to building a safe and effective solar module design,” said Michelle Ostiguy, director of Photovoltaic & Barrier at FLEXcon. “Spire’s customers can be confident that they are deploying a module using a BOM that is UL certified, low cost and offers the most readily available components of the highest quality. FLEXcon is proud to have worked with two industry leaders, Spire and Arkema to deliver this exciting offering to the marketplace.”

  • 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.
