正泰公司的非晶硅/微晶硅串联高效薄膜光伏组件近日分别通过TÜV认证和UL认证,这就意味着,该公司的组件达到了德国和美国的标准要求。
认证内容包括湿热环境,机械负重,环境湿度,湿度冻结和循环加热等测试。另外,该组件的效率实验也获得成功,面板的稳定转换效率水平超过了9%,实际生产的平均转换率达到9.2%。
正泰集团首席执行官杨立友表示,此次通过双认证有助于公司打开欧美市场,这种组件能量回收期短,跟传统组件相比也更加环保,公司期望借助去年在中国大陆建立的第一条高效串联结薄膜生产线到2011年产能达到300兆瓦。
Astronergy’s a-Si/μc-Si tandem-junction high-efficiency thin-film PV modules have been awarded both TÜV and UL certification for the IEC 61646 and IEC 61730 standards. The dual certification means that the company’s modules are guaranteed for these standards in both Germany and the U.S.
All certification tests based on IEC 61646 and IEC 61730 standards were conducted on the modules, including damp-heat, mechanical load, humidity-freeze and thermal cycling. Efficiency tests were also successful; the panels exceeded the 9% stabilized conversion efficiency level, reaching an average of 9.2% in production.
“TUV and UL certifications on our thin film modules will help us accelerate the development of thin film markets in Europe and in the US,” Astronergy CEO Dr. Liyou Yang explained, “A-Si/μc-Si tandem-junction high-efficiency thin film has a significantly shorter energy payback time and its manufacturing process is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional wafer based PV.”
The company is looking to expand its thin-film capacity to 300MW by 2011, after completing its first high-efficiency tandem-junction thin-film production line in mainland China last year.
