Product Briefing Outline: Trina Solar has announced it will be manufacturing a high performance monocrystalline module ‘TSM-DC80,’ which uses ‘Quad Max’ technology, primarily targeting the rooftop and small scale ground-mounted systems market segments.
Product Briefing Outline: Arnold Gruppe has launched a new generation of combined surface and chamfering grinding machines. The Type 72/865 is specially designed for low and medium range brick production capacities up to 150MWp, which is claimed to significantly reduce production costs whilst increasing overall wafer quality.
Product Briefing Outline: The Dranetz Energy Platform EP1 is a handheld electrical energy and power demand analyzer specifically designed for conducting facility energy audits and power demand studies. The EP1 is the ideal tool for gathering, recording and reporting “where, when, and how much” electricity is used. Applications in industrial, commercial and institutional facilities include energy/cost reduction programs, alternative energy monitoring and power/harmonic studies.
Product Briefing Outline: Somont has made further improvements to its CERTUS stringing system, which is designed for production capacities from 50 – 100MW per year. The CERTUS features a modular concept to match the desired capacity requirements. CERTUS integrates all elements needed at the front-end of the module production line with new, state-of-the art technology for the stringer, in-line string testing, matrix lay-up, interconnection, matrix testing and lay-up on the glass plate.
Product Briefing Outline: Solar Metrology has expanded its portfolio of System SMX thin-film composition and thickness measurement tools with the introduction of model SMX-ILH (in-line X-ray head) tool, which is designed for in-line composition and thickness control of CIGS and CdTe photovoltaic thin film depositions.
Product Briefing Outline: Converteam has introduced the ProSolar outdoor inverter. ProSolar inverters are available for a power range from 500 kW to several megawatts. ProSolar central inverters are optimised for the use in MW photovoltaic parks. The number of PV strings in the system varies according to the individual requirements.
Product Briefing Outline: ROFIN has introduced a new laser series for high-speed micro material processing, with a special focus on photovoltaic manufacturing. The new PowerLine L series are q-switched solid-state lasers specifically designed for micro material processing applications, which require high average power and high pulse energy.
Product Briefing Outline: LIMO has developed a diode laser that generates photoluminescence and thermographic signals by asymmetric homogeneous illumination of the solar cell. Homogeneously illuminated fields create value in metrology applications in a variety of industries, including photovoltaics.
Product Briefing Outline: Tyco Electronics now offers a new way for locating junction boxes on a PV panel. Compared to the commonly used centralized junction boxes in the PV industry, the new two-rail decentralized junction box requires 50% less jumper cable to connect to the next solar panel, as the junction boxes are located in the corner of the panels.
