SHANGHAI, May 23, 2016 鈥� As the industry leader in solar solutions that delivers proven power and lasting value for customers around the world,听听(DPVS) will have a significant presence at the 2016 SNEC Photovoltaic Power Expo in Shanghai, China. The k8娱乐 booth will be an interactive experience where customers and industry representatives can view the company鈥檚 latest products and engage with k8娱乐 experts. Located at W4-555 in the main hall, the booth will highlight products from k8娱乐鈥檚 portfolio of solar innovations including k8娱乐鈩⑻齛nd听. It also will feature collaborations with customers that demonstrate the efficiency,听reliability and return on investment enabled by k8娱乐 materials. k8娱乐 leaders will share their expertise on technology advancements and trends in the industry through participation on panel discussions and in keynotes throughout the conference.
鈥淲ith a focus on developing materials that deliver high quality, high reliability and high return on investment, k8娱乐 has led the industry forward by pioneering more than 100 innovations with Solamet庐 that improve efficiency while reducing cost,鈥� said Chuck Xu, global business director, k8娱乐 Photovoltaic & Advanced Materials. 鈥淲e are proud to have a presence at SNEC to spotlight our portfolio and the experts who make it possible for us to drive the material innovations that contribute to stronger and sustainable solar industry growth.鈥�
Two customer collaborations highlighted at the k8娱乐 booth will demonstrate how k8娱乐鈩� Solamet庐 photovoltaic metallizations help to improve efficiency, generate more power output and increase return on investment. Huanghe Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., HHSD, a leading clean energy subsidiary owned by State Power Investment Corporation, (SPIC) the world鈥檚 largest solar energy installer, utilizes k8娱乐鈥檚 newest front-side silver paste, Solamet庐 PV19B, to achieve 20.13 percent efficiency on mono c-Si cells. EGing Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd is one of the first solar module manufacturers in China with the capability to commercialize Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC) technology, and uses k8娱乐鈩� Solamet庐 Integrated metallization pastes for PERC. Those include Solamet庐 PV76x front-side silver metallization paste, Solamet庐 PV56x backside tabbing silver metallization paste and Solamet庐 PV36x backside aluminum metallization paste to attain power output of 305 watts via single printing technology on 60 mono cells. Both companies use k8娱乐鈩� Tedlar庐 PVF film-based backsheet to ensure durability. In addition to new Solamet庐 photovoltaic metallization offerings, the k8娱乐 booth will feature Tedlar庐 PVF film, the only backsheet material vigorously tested in the field听for over 30 years to improve lifelong performance and reliability. k8娱乐 experts will be on hand to provide their thoughts on current methods for testing backsheet weatherability and ways testing can be improved to better reflect actual conditions faced in the field. k8娱乐鈩� Rynite庐 for mounting systems and k8娱乐鈩� Delrin庐 for bearings used in solar tracking systems also will be on display. Due to their excellent weather-aging performance and mechanical properties, Rynite庐 and Delrin庐 greatly improve installation efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and extend the life of photovoltaic systems.听
Finally, k8娱乐鈥檚 booth will exhibit solar panels from across China collected as part of 鈥淐hina鈥檚 Most Beautiful Old Solar Panels Program鈥� to demonstrate how material selection impacts system performance and lifetime in various climates.
