PVSEC Highlight Videos




PVSEC Highlights from Canadian Solar: Metal Wrap Through Solar Module Featuring DuPont™ Solamet® photovoltaic metallization paste Dr Zhang, Vice President of Technology for Canadian Solar, discusses the benefits of Canadian Solar's Metal Wrap Through Solar Module featuring DuPont™ Solamet® PV 701 photovoltaic metallization paste, which enables 19.5% conversion efficiency for monocrystalline silicon solar cells and 18% for multi-crystalline silicon solar cells.

PVSEC Highlights from TAIFLEX Scientific: New DuPont™ TPNext™ laminate License Mr Chiang, President of TAIFLEX, announced a new PV backsheet product offering at this week's PVSEC Exhibition in Hamburg, Germany: TAIFLEX Solmate® backsheet powered by DuPont(TM) TPNext(TM) laminate system.

PV Industry Trends and DuPont Solamet® photovoltaic metallization innovations Tim Chang, Regional Director for DuPont Microcircuit Materials, provides a PVSEC recap on industry trends and innovations from DuPont Innovalight and DuPont(TM) Solamet® metallization paste innovations highlighted during the exhibition.

Innovation, Cost Savings, and New Market Growth Pete Brenner, PV Global Marketing Manager for DuPont Microcircuit Materials, reflects on hot topics he heard expressed while at this week's PVSEC Show, including recent innovations, the need for continued cost savings, and potential new market growth opportunities within the solar energy industry.

Challenging Times Ahead for the PV Industry Lan Ma, PV Global Marketing Manager & China Country Manager for DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions shares her key observations from this week's PVSEC Show in Hamburg, Germany.

Thin Film Flexible PV Module Featuring DuPont™ Solamet® photovoltaic metallization paste Mr Ziegler, Co-Founder of Flexcell, discusses the benefits of Flexcell's flexible, amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic modules for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and mobile solar chargers. The Flexcell PV modules feature DuPont™ Solamet® PV414 frontside metallization paste which enables high speed roll to roll processing of thin and flexible solar cells and modules.

Drive for Solar to Become a Great Economic Decision John Odom, Global Business Director for DuPont Photovoltaic Fluoromaterials, reflects on industry trends reinforced at last week's PVSEC exhibition that are critical elements for the PV industry to reach grid parity, including the need for increased efficiencies, improved reliability and long term performance, as well as reduced system costs.

PV Materials Matter, System Integration, & Increased Reliability Simone Arizzi, Global Technology Manager for DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, reflects on the critical role PV materials play in meeting the industry's cost reduction roadmap to drive further system integration, lighter/thinner PV structures, increased reliability and long term performance.

Encapsulant Offerings that Support the PV Industry's Cost-Down Roadmap Michael Fehlings, European Photovoltaic Encapsulants Business Manager for DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers, reflects on the current challenges facing the PV industry and highlights an example of how module makers are addressing the industry cost-down roadmap needs through selection of encapsulation materials. Willard and Kelsey (W&K) Solar Group's new cadmium-telluride (CdTe) thin film module, featuring DuPont™ PV5400 ionomer-based PV encapsulant, combines long-term efficiency with increased reliability to drive reduced PV system cost.
