- 25 % more output
- Cells and modules “Made in Europe”
- PERC upgrade being prepared
Kahl am Main, June 10, 2014 – The Lithuania-based companies BOD Group, ViaSolis and Baltic Solar Energy were combined and under the new corporate name SoliTek present poly-crystalline solar cells, glass-glass PV modules and complete PV system solutions “Made in Europe”. SoliTek’s factory is the first factory for solar cells and PV modules newly built in Europe since 2008.
The cell production line was completed by SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES in the fourth quarter 2013.
SoliTek announced that it is the first factory worldwide to use a specific PIB rim sealing for the production of the innovative, only 5 mm thick glass-glass PV modules. This technology enables longevity of the modules of more than 30 years. In combination with the crystalline cells by SoliTek it is possible to increase the output by up to 25 % compared with traditional PV modules. The PV module SoliTek was one of the four most innovative products in the course of the Intersolar Award 2014.
The solar cells from the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES line are 100 % PID-free due to SINGULUS specifically designed coating technology (Potential Induced Degradation is a power-induced output degradation caused by so-called leakage currents. This negative effect can cause output losses of up to 30 %.)
In addition, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has already delivered the upgrade machines to Lithuania for the improvement of the cell efficiency pursuant to the PERC principles.
Profile SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES
