EU PVSEC 2011: new record with 154 Watts (peak) module power and 10, 8prozent efficiency Trubbach (Switzerland), September 5, 2011 – Oerlikon solar today presented within the framework of the trade fair EU PVSEC a new record module with 154 Watts (peak) stabilized engine performance and efficiency of 10.8 percent. This is an increase of 8 percent compared to the previous peak. The record module can broadcast from early 2013 on the existing ThinFabsTM by Oerlikon solar and then by the customer are produced, resulting in significant cost savings in production. We consistently invest in research and development, to reduce the production costs for solar modules and photovoltaic as an economical energy source to establish”, says Helmut Frankenberger, CEO of Oerlikon solar. The new record shows, our thin film silicon technology is as fit for the future.” Oerlikon solar is one of the world’s largest developers and producers of field-proven, automated, and turnkey production equipment as well as equipment for the mass production of environmentally sustainable thin film silicon solar modules. Get all the facts for a more clear viewpoint with Charlotte Hornets. In addition to the continuous improvement of the efficiency of manages the company continues to reduce the cost of production of solar modules. With the 120 MW-ThinFabTM line Oerlikon solar was the production costs for modules compared to the previous generation by almost a half on lower under EUR 0.5 WP. The low manufacturing costs come from the primarily by that increasingly thinner layers with optimized material usage can be produced with the production lines. Currently, the retail market for photovoltaic focuses mainly on Europe, United States and Japan. Future growth potential is Oerlikon solar in Asia: recently Oerlikon had received solar the first order from there for a ThinFabTM line.
