Gintech launches its high efficiency Diamond series cells at SNEC 2013

2013-05-14T13:06:53+00:00

To approach higher conversion efficiency of solar cells, Gintech Energy Corporation, a global leading cell manufacturer, announces its competitive high efficiency solar cells “Diamond Series” at SNEC (2013) PV POWER EXPO, Shanghai, China, May 2013.

Gintech announces the successful development of its Diamond multicrystalline cell with a peak conversion efficiency of 19.5%, measured by TÜV Rheinland. Gintech’s Diamond series breakthrough lies in the company’s ability to mass-produce cells that completely exceed market average efficiency by one percent. With the performance of Diamond, Gintech believes this product will be revolutionary within the PV market.

The benefits of Diamond series are its compatibility to present module processes while maintaining similar reliability of the mainstream products. Cells with high power output are the key for the next generation of products. With Diamond, module customers can achieve 270W in 60-cell multicrystalline modules. This results in promising benefits in the cost-effective solution of the PV system.

Gintech Energy Corporation has continuously dedicated itself to the development of high efficiency quality cells and providing optimized PV solutions. Gintech adopts state-of-the-art automated production to ensure competitive edge, while streamlining its production processes through effective utilization of human resources, materials and capital. Gintech’s current product series includes Diamond, Douro, as well as Phoenix Series.

MOEA Will Fund Gintech and Utech for Mono-like wafers & Copper-plating Cells Research

2012-05-23T03:38:39+00:00

Ministry of Economic Affairs(MOEA) Will Jointly Fund Gintech and Utech to Undertake R&D Projects on “Mono-like Crystalline Silicon Wafers and High Efficiency Copper Plating Solar Cells" Research.

In today's competitive solar industry, producing high-efficiency and low-cost products are the primary missions for Gintech Energy Corporation (Gintech). Led by Gintech and Utech Solar R&D teams, the research will focus on developing high-efficiency mono-like wafers and copper-plating technologies on cells.

When successfully commercialized, the copper-plating technologies can be an alternate for silver-plating conductive method. The expected efficiency will reach 19% with a 4.6 Watt/piece (6-inch) output. The R&D projects have been accepted by Department of Industrial Technology of MOEA and will be funded as part of MOEA’s Industrial R&D and Innovative Projects.

Gintech Energy Corporation Launches its PID-free solution at SNEC 2012

2012-05-15T00:55:21+00:00

As PID (Potential Induced Degradation) solution on solar cells results in less power decay of solar system, Gintech Energy Corporation, a global TOP 10 leading cell manufacturer, announces its PID free solution at SNEC 2012, Shanghai, New International Expo Center, May 2012.

PID-free is regarded as one of the solutions that could prevent undesired power leakage caused at high system voltages; this topic also gets more and more important in worldwide PV system and solar parks; after six months’ endless efforts, Gintech’s solar cells not only have passed severe PID tests by its high-end European customers, but also by PI-Berlin, one of the European pioneer PID research institutes in Germany that provide photovoltaic test analysis, evaluation and research services. Gintech is ready to provide PID free solar cell solution to its worldwide customers.

Besides PID solution, hot-spot free solution remains basic requirement for high quality PV modules. With high-quality wafer Gintech sourced and through severe quality monitor system by using PL (Photoluminescence) equipment as well as shunt resistance, reverse current and IR (Infrared Thermography), Gintech’s solar cells have achieved hot spot free solution with higher safety level.

Gintech Energy Corporation has continued dedicating itself to develop high efficiency quality cells and providing optimized PV solutions for its clients. Not only does Gintech adopt the state-of-the-art automated production equipments to ensure competitive edge, but also endeavor to streamline its production processes through effective utilization of human resources, materials and capital. Gintech’s current product series includes Premium Hybrid Quasi-Mono Series, High Power Douro Series, and Colorful Phoenix Series.
