A perfect fit: Jurchen Technology PEG substructure with First Solar Series 6 module to lower costs, building time
Munich (Germany) – Jurchen Technology, BELECTRIC’s daughter company, will present a new package at this year’s InterSolar trade fair in Munich, which combines its innovative PEG substructure and DC cabling systems with the First Solar Series 6 module. The combination of these components help to reduce cost and installation time of solar power plants significantly.
“At First Solar, we’re focused on working with our partners to go beyond mere compatibility between their racking structures and our Series 6 module,” said Scott Dailey, Leader – Ecosystem, First Solar. “The goal is to combine our modules with structures that are optimized for our technology and deliver maximum value to the asset owner. We are excited about the Jurchen Technology package and Series 6’ potential to minimize system costs and maximize construction velocity.”
“Under the name PEG we offer an extremely light substructure that has been reduced to the minimum. Due to the lightweight construction no heavy machines are required. That lowers costs and speeds up the construction phase”, adds Michael Jurchen, CEO of Jurchen Technology GmbH. “With the PEG substructure we are able to significantly reduce CAPEX over 40% and OPEX over 20%. Combined with the effective modules of First Solar we raise additional cost reduction potential.”
