Suncycle assigned to junction box repair programme

Insurers acting for bankrupted company Scheuten Solar Holding have assigned Suncycle to roll out a repair program for Scheuten Solar Holding modules with defective junction boxes.

In March this year Scheuten Solar Solutions took over all commercial activities of Scheuten Solar Holding.

Following the take-over Scheuten Solar Solutions found itself confronted with defective junction boxes made by the defunct company.

Scheuten Solar Solutions launched a communication and inspection programme to provide support to former Scheuten Solar Holding customers. However, a further in-depth analysis found that the problem was more extensive than earlier believed.

Insurers acting for Scheuten Solar Holding subsequently decided that the matter should be dealt with by Suncycle, a company which specialises in test and repair services for the solar industry.

Suncycle General Manager, Dr. MischaPaterna, said: “Thanks to our experience and our European network we are able to carry out this repair program. It’s our main goal to prevent future accidents and make sure this junction box problem will soon belong to the past.”

  • 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.
