Taiwan-based a-Si thin-film manufacturer, NexPower Technology has used three different channels to market in an effort to capture business from the burgeoning Japanese PV market. The company said, though did not breakout the quantities that it had shipped 10MW of modules to Japan in the first-half of 2012 to local distributors, EPC firms and PV project developers.

“A common use of NexPower modules by Japanese EPCs is to build what [are] called a mini solar farm, which is usually within 50kW and ground mounted,” noted Charles Chen, sales and marketing vice president of NexPower.

The company claimed that its expected pipeline in Japan this year could result in more than 1,000 rooftop installations using its thin-film modules.

  • 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.
