GEMO - TEC SOLAR COMPANIES REPRESENTED
- Founded in 2001 • - Research and development of new technologies and marketing strategies for photovoltaic energy systems • Worldwide patents on NICE Technology • (New Industrial Cells Encapsulation)
1.6 €/Wp 1.0 2010 The photovoltaic system value chain APOLLON SOLAR’s projects are focused on the three largest cost contributors Roof integration SOLARCLIP Module Cell Roof integration NICE Module Wafer Cell Wafer PHOTOSIL 2013 With the potential for 2013 to have an industrial solution for a ready to use photovoltaic system at 1.0 €/Wp, including the depreciation of investment (estimated at 30% to today’s standard).
founded in 1979 • expert in manufacturing of automatic production equipment & lines • manufacturer of the SMAL (Solar Module Assembly Line) based on “NICE • technology”
PRODUCTS SMAL SOLAR MODULE ASSEMBLY LINE NICE TECHNOLOGY Technical documentation available SMAL 20 (20 to 25 MWp/year) 1 module every 4 min SMAL 40 (41 to 50 MWp/year) 1 module every 2 min SMAL 100 (92 to 100 MWp/year) 1 module per min
SMAL 20 line : Toward the mass production at Vincent Industrie in Vourles (near Lyon) Module press Station for sealing deposition Busbar deposition station Pick & Place stations for ribbons and cells Station for gluing
Solar Module Assembly LineNICE Technology WHY CHOOSING OUR TECHNOLOGY ?
NICE (New IndustrialCells Encapsulation) Objectives 30% direct cost reduction of module manufacturing at least (for similar components). Only 4 operators per shift. (4 times less than the other systems) Cycle time reduction per module from >10 min (EVA) to 2 min (NICE fully automatic 50 MW line) New sealing process and material for improved humidity tightness. 3 times less footprint Stable long term module performance for more than 30 years. Fully recyclable modules.
NICE (New Industrial Cells Encapsulation) Edge sealing by PIB (Poly Iso Butylen) known from insulation glass industry Glue fixation of solar cells and metal interconnectors Under pressure inside module to assure electrical series connection Suppression of EVA lamination Suppression of cell / interconnector soldering
Principe : Laminated Module Glass EVA (Ethylene-VinylAcetate) Weld contacts Cell Cell EVA (Ethylene-VinylAcetate) Tedlar
Principe : NICE Module Glass Pressed contacts Cell Cell Glass
NICE: ProcessSteps Placement of rear sheet Glue deposition Cells and connectors placement Placement of module busbars Deposition of sealing Placement of front glass + transport of assembly to press for nitrogen flooding and creation of underpressure Pressing of assembly Placement of external connectors Deposition of secondary sealing
Cells breakage in laminated modules µ-cracks and solder problems in laminated modules Impact of 600 Thermal Cycles from -40°C to +85°C
Cells breakage in NICE modules Optimized underpressure: hardly no cracks, no solder problem and no contact disconnection at high temperature Impact of 600 Thermal Cycles from -40°C to +85°C
R&D NICE: Thermal cycling general results Power degradation < 3% after 1000 thermal cycles Power degradation after 200 thermal cycles and 1000 h damp heat test average : 0,1% Great stability of electrical parameters Impact of Thermal Cycling test (-40°C / 85°C)
R&D NICE: IndustrialLines • The NICE processisready for mass module production • 2 lines 25 MW are alreadybuilt by the company Vincent Industrie (Brignais, France). • Someotherlines of 25, 50 MW and 100 MW wereordered. • Certification • NICE modules have validated IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 normes in June 2010 (TÜV Rheinland) and also in December 2011 • Our R&D team are currentlyfocused on : • Yield and productivity of the industriallines. • IEC module certification of the industriallines and new components. • Using the NICE technologywithvariouscell concepts and types (rear contacts, bifacial cells, thin films…).
