Rehm Thermal Systems has introduced an advanced new series of drying systems, the Solardryer RDS 2100 and RDS 3000 for solar cell metallization processes.
Polycrystalline Silicon Technology Corporation (P.S.T.) and its alliance partner, Dynamic Engineering have introduced an advanced silicon tetrachloride hydrochlorination technology
Siemens has introduced a new Gas Chromatograph (GC) that can be used in the very demanding polysilicon production process. The MAXUM II PGC will help to maximize the polysilicon output to ensure stable and high quality material, minimizing off-spec products. This results in significant cost reductions with a typical return of investment of less than one year for a typical plant, according to the company.
GE has introduced a one-megawatt (MW) solar inverter that is available in both 50- and 60-hertz versions, making it suitable for applications worldwide.
