TLS Shingle Cell Cutting for BIPV and VIPV Applications

Recording of Wednesday, June 19, 2024 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 15:09 .

Talk of session: Cutting-Edge Module Technologies: European Innovations in Cell-to-Module Concepts

European machine manufacturers offer solutions for existing PERC, SHJ, TOPCon, and IBC-based cells, which serve as the foundation for advanced module concepts. Whether it's implementing innovative stringing processes, employing defect-poor laser separation techniques for cells, or ensuring high-quality lamination, European engineering companies deliver top-notch European machines designed for industrial-scale production lines catering to both residential and utility-scale markets. This session will highlight trends in solar module manufacturing technology and explore efforts to enhance product cost-effectiveness further. Additionally, products for niche applications such as integrated PV will be showcased.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
