Product Briefing Outline: Meco Equipment Engineers has developed its Cell Plating Line (CPL) for the metallization of crystalline solar cells to enable a fine line and thin seed layer of silver paste to boost cell efficiencies for volume production applications.
Product Briefing Outline: Nordiko Technical Services ‘7500’ Broad Ion Beam Milling system is designed around a new 50cm plasma source and a new high reliability rotary substrate table that allows in repeatable milling performance with very good within wafer non-uniformity from a very low divergence collimated ion beam. The tool can be used in thin film development through to pilot production of a wide variety of materials.
Product Briefing Outline: Silfab’s new photovoltaic modules SLA 230-245M originate from the company’s R&D team with 30 years of experience in solar technologies development. The new modules are built with 60 cells in monocrystalline silicon, with a total area of 156x156 mm, the SLA series is specifically developed for grid-connected, feed-in-tariffs compatible, photovoltaic plants. The modules are available in different models, with a peak power ranging from 230 (14.1%) to 245 Wp (15.0%).
Product Briefing Outline: Shin-Etsu Silicones of America (U.S. subsidiary of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., Japan) has recently introduced a diverse line of advanced performance, silicone-based products specifically designed for applications that benefit the protection and performance of PV modules in the field. These are comprised of two key product categories that cover potting and sealing applications.
Product Briefing Outline: OK International has developed a proprietary ‘SmartHeat’ Technology, which consists of a high frequency alternating current (AC) power supply and a self regulating heating element. The heater utilizes the electrical and metallurgical characteristics of two different metals: copper, and a magnetic material with high resistivity to reduce micro-cracking of solar cell substrates during the soldering operation.
Product Briefing Outline: Sputnik Engineering has launched the web-based data logger MaxWeb xp. Like its predecessor MaxWeb, MaxWeb xp also records power measurement values, yield data and events in photovoltaic plants and transmits them automatically to the SolarMax web portal. In addition, the data logger also monitors the plant’s operation for faults and sends fault signals to as many as three recipients by e-mail or SMS. The set-up wizard helps you to configure your MaxWeb xp.
Product Briefing Outline: Due to technology partnerships and longtime experience RENA has been able to optimize the handling and process sequence for the complete process chain after wafer sawing with its ‘Wafer Line’ system. With this complete system, 200MW production per annum is possible.
Product Briefing Outline: BrightView Systems has unveiled the InSight M Series, which it claims to be the world’s first in-line process control and optimization tool developed specifically to address the challenges faced by thin-film solar cell manufacturers. The Wide Area Metrology (WAM) system provides continuous monitoring and whole-panel mapping of critical material and process parameters at full production throughput and for 100% of manufactured panels.
Product Briefing Outline: Schneider Electric is now offering an approach to create intelligent energy management systems under the EcoStruxure banner. These systems are simplified, save money, and most importantly, reduce waste by enabling a guaranteed compatibility between the management of power, white space, process and machines, building control, and security. With EcoStruxure, businesses can anticipate better results and improvements in operations through systematic energy visibility and real time control of any energy usage.
Product Briefing Outline: To help customers show objective evidence that they are in compliance with test specifications during ISO 17025 quality audits, Atlas now offers the ‘Atlas LS-200’ Full Spectrum Monitoring device. The LS-200 has been specifically designed for use in Ci Series ‘Weather-Ometers’ to precisely measure the SPD output of the xenon lamp. Validation tests have shown that this device has excellent correlation to the spectroradiometers used in the Atlas Calibration Laboratory.
