TTi has introduced its next generation of residential solar roof mount, the patented TTi Flat Jack Comp Shingle Mount. As a durable and reliable mount for installing PV panels on composition shingle roofs, the TTi Flat Jack now requires no shingle trimming or sealants, reduces labour costs and protects roofs.
Conergy’s PowerPlus Premium module will be available in sophisticated black. As an alternative to the polycrystalline, classic blue module, the Hamburg-based company is now offering its “Edition Noir” as a second design option, with black cells and a black backsheet. Monocrystalline modules in four different performance classes, from 240 to 255W, will be available in this new look. The Conergy SunTop mounting system is also available in the new “Noir” look, so now all your roof installations can be in black and the mountings and modules can be perfectly matched.
Trina Solar is offering a three-pronged service solution featuring complimentary design services, newly available high performance Honey modules and the rapid install Trinamount racking system specifically for the installers, developers and other customers requiring large rooftop PV installations in the North American market.
Wagan Tech has launched new solar power generators for off-grid applications. The ‘Solar e Power’ Cube 1500 and the ‘Solar e Power’ Case 450 are both plug and play solar generators providing instant access to AC power.
GreenPeak Technologies, a fabless semiconductor company, has introduced a wireless monitoring and control system solution for solar panel installations that will allow individual panel parameter tracking and control.
centrotherm has introduced a new fast firing furnace tool, c.FIRE for metallization of front and rear contacts of solar cells. It is suited for all common sorts of metallization paste and comes with an integrated and versatile dryer. Emphasis in the design was also placed on a compact footprint and maintenance systems in order to reduce the operating costs for solar cell producers.
AMETEK Programmable Power will be offering a fully automated EN50530 test solution that utilizes three core ‘Surround the Inverter’ elements: the TerraSAS Solar Array Simulator, MX/RS Grid-Simulator and CTS Compliance Test System. The programmable power products and systems simulate the output of solar arrays, the loads applied to the output of the inverter, and the interface with the grid, providing a comprehensive and energy efficient means of testing PV inverters.
Dow Corning and Reis Robotics have announced that their solar cell liquid encapsulation process has passed factory acceptance testing and is now available for commercial use. Additional site testing was conducted on the pilot line at the new Dow Corning Solar Solutions Application Center in JinCheon, Korea with a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance solar power products.
Dr Schenk has developed a high-speed, non-destructive measurement of I-V curves of thin-film modules prior to the lamination step. The SolarMeasure I-V Curve Tracer evaluates the characteristics of every individual cell on the complete thin-film panel and detects local variations. These measurements can be taken in-line and the results serve as a GO/NO-GO test of whether a panel should be processed further.
Bürkle has developed a new three-step single-opening laminator focusing on a number of key process parameters to reduce costs and increase productivity. The e.a.sy-Lam SL machine is claimed to reduce unit costs per solar module by up to 25%.
