Situated in Deagu, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province of South Korea, Jurasolar’s new 60MW module manufacturing facility is nearing completion and will be opened in May, according to the company. Equipped with tools including a fully automated PV module manufacturing line from German company JvG Thoma, the factory will produce the company’s ‘JvG Desert Modules’, named to reflect their ability to perform in extremely high temperatures of over 125°C.

The modules feature a thermally-conductive ultra-thin film that ensures high transparency and light transmission. They are also said to be PID-free and 100% recyclable.

“We'll also use white glass, which is also very thin and increases the heat transfer many times. This is important for the cooling process. Our special anti-reflective coating increases the transmission and is water and stain-resistant,” says Hans Thoma, managing director of JvG Thoma GmbH.
