Odersun receives IEC certification for CIS-based modules

Odersun has achieved International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) certification for its standard CIS-based solar modules. The German Engineering Association VDE has awarded the certification for Odersun's 1 by 1.70m framed glass-foil modules built of Odersun's CIS-on-copper-tape cells.

The IEC 61646 and 61730 certifications are awarded to companies producing modules that meet the IEC's strict norms regarding function, quality and safety.

Odersun will now begin the ramp-up of its 20MW manufacturing facilities in Fürstenwalde, Germany. "With starting production we are able to deliver Odersun's aesthetically appealing CIS solar modules to our customer base this quarter." explains Hein van der Zeeuw, CEO of Odersun, "This is an excellent foundation for us to further expand our product portfolio with customized solar modules for architectural building integration. For this, we are cooperating with various partners from the building industry."
