Ultra-Thin Chemically Treated Glass/Glass Modules & Back-Contact Cells Add Value, Options on COSMOS® Modules
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands – In order to offer module makers and solar photovoltaic (PV) customers greater value and design flexibility, solar research and development company, TULiPPS B.V. will offer a combination of ultra-thin chemically strengthened glass from Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. (AGC, Tokyo, http://www.agc.com/english/index.html) in a frameless glass/glass module system with high-efficiency back-contact cells produced on equipment from Eurotron B.V. (Bleskensgraaf, The Netherlands, http://www.eurotron.nl). Versus conventional framed PV modules, this new combination offers the increased break resistance, light transmittance, and energy-generating efficiency/unit area at the lower module weight and cost of all TULiPPS’ module systems plus greater durability, longer service life, and the design and manufacturing flexibility to create modules of varying sizes that better fit odd spaces on roofs and cladding for building-integrated PV (BIPV) systems.
