With the help of 3S Swiss Solar Systems, a member of Meyer Burger Technology Ltd [Ticker: MBTN], the Korean solar company, KISCO has completed the certification of its module production in Korea within a period of just a few weeks. This means that KISCO has not only achieved production start-up but also certification in record time.
Since mid-March, KISCO has been producing highly efficient, crystalline solar modules on a newly installed 65MW production line from 3S Modultec. Once it was up and running, the production process was successfully inspected by TÜV Rheinland barely six months after signing the contract. KISCO has benefitted from, among other things, the certification service offered by 3S, which has already been successfully implemented in a number of projects by 3S Modultec in conjunction with TÜV Rheinland. With this fast and tried-and-tested process, along with the service package tailored to the company’s requirements, KISCO has saved valuable months in reduced time-to-market.
Know-how transfer and service package for a rapid and successful ramp-up
The production line was sold with a comprehensive service package: certification service and know-how transfer, together with on-site training for staff, thus enabling the client to begin supplying high-quality, certified modules within a short period of time.
A versatile, rapid market launch with integrated 3S Modultec production lines
3S Modultec production lines are modular and can be extended with little outlay and without interrupting production. The perfectly coordinated range of 3S Modultec production lines from a one-stop shop combined with unique certification support and comprehensive process training forms an ideal basis for comprehensive project completion in the shortest possible time, which is particularly important to clients such as SPEC, who want to launch initial production at the lowest possible risk. The 3S Modultec integrated production solution improves time-to-market and cuts the TCO for production across the entire value-added chain for high-performance solar panels.
