Critical Processes … Global Results
New Manufacturing Technologies, Solutions, Material, Process and Equipment Integration Capabilities
With new manufacturing technology, materials, processes and equipment integration solutions, already implemented and currently under development in ASP the company will manufacture more solar modules:
- in less time
- with less manufacturing space
- at less cost
- with fewer shutdowns
- with fewer manufacturing rejects
- with stronger wind rating
- with higher efficiency
- with less capital equipment like laminators
New Thin Glass Tempering Technology
With in house propiatory thin glass tempering capabilities ASP is capable to manufacture up to 250MW of critical for Smart Module and I-Series modules glass substrates base on patented and licensed technology.
New Encapsulation Solutions
Long term performance in overall weather conditions is a most critical factor of life expectancy for solar panels, meaning protection from weather and UV radiation is critical for long-term durability.
New ASP Encapsulation Technology provides the technical solution one needs to ensure solar panels perform more than 25 years in real-world conditions.
Glass substate Laser Cutting Technology
Laser Glass Cutting is based on our licensed patented laser glass separation technology. The glass is cut up to 3 times faster with edges up to five times stronger than conventional scribing and breaking. ASP’s licensed “Zero Width Laser Technology” ensures glass has no edge micro cracks, increases production yields and prolongs panel life time in harsh environments with high temperature fluctuations. “Zero Width Laser Technology” was used for Flat Panel Display Technology and is literally on the cutting edge for photovoltaics.
Laser Glass Cutting of Junction Box Opening
Using recently developed laser technology an access hole is made in the glass to allow the electrical connection of the junction box. Our technology prevents microcracks associated with conventional cutting tools and increases the strength and longevity of the glass substrates.
Direct Laser Marking Technology
For traceability and maintenance scheduling we have developed a method for permanent distinct contrast marking on glass without engraving or using chemicals. Advanced laser system is capable of generating a 2D bar code directly on the glass surface.
