    Senersun modules pass salt mist corrosion testing.

Senersun advised that its polycrystalline modules had passed testing performed by SGS for compliance with IEC 61701 standards for salt mist corrosion. The solar panels underwent four test cycles spread over 28 days. Each module was sprayed with a salt mist solution and then stores for 7 days at 40° C and 93% relative humidity. Testing confirmed that the panels were visually, dimensionally and functionally compliant with the IEC standards.

“This test is for us one more testimony of the quality of our products”, commented Alexandre Minuzzo, CEO at Senersun. “We welcome this new certification, which enables our partners in islands and coastal regions to install our panels with confidence. Yet, we do not forget that quality is not only about testing samples, and will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing free-of-defect solar panels, all certified individually by independent companies after production, like we currently do with STS-Certified.”

  • 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.
