Major metallization paste producer Heraeus Photovoltaics is collaborating with PV ribbon product provider Ulbrich of Austria, a branch of Ulbrich Solar Technologies, to develop products for solar module assembly and packaging.
Dr. Andre Kobelt, chief commercial and technology officer for Heraeus, said: “The announcement of this cooperation with Ulbrich is an important step which could significantly lower the cost per watt for [the] PV module industry. We view this agreement as an exciting opportunity for Heraeus to embark upon as we look to continue to expand our global footprint in the field of renewable energies.”
