Title New products New products Hanwha SolarOne launches new generation HSL Series Hanwha SolarOne Co. Ltd. has globally launched its new generation modules—the HSL Series. Compared to previous generation modules, these offer a smaller and lighter design, higher power output and enhanced durability, with new features like anti-PID (potential induced degradation) technology, anti-salt mist corrosion and increased snow and wind loads. www.hanwha-solarone.com KACO new energy introduces the blueplanet 50.0, 40.0 and 32.0 TL3 inverters in North America Designed as a global platform, the blueplanet 50.0 TL3 product line is based on the 39.0 TL3 with 700 MW of installed capacity globally. The blueplanet 50.0 TL3 is designed for UL 1741 listing with 1000 VDC operation and 480 VAC grid tie operation. Three power ratings are available: 32, 40 and 50kW with the choice of a single MPP or three MPP model option. Maximum energy yield, PV system design flexibility, safety, and low maintenance are the goals of the blueplanet 50.0 TL3 product line. www.kaco-newenergy.com SolarWorld introduces glassglass solar panel featuring 30-year linear guarantee SolarWorld today introduced its Sunmodule Protect glass-glass solar panel. No heavier than a standard glass-film panel, the innovative new product is protected by one of the industry’s highest-value performance guarantees. In Sunmodule Protect solar panels, SolarWorld substitutes a panel’s conventional backsheet with lightweight glass to better shield energyproducing solar cells from the elements. This advance enables SolarWorld to extend its linear performance guarantee to 30 years, up from 25 years, offering only 0.35 percentage points in lower performance protection over each of the 30 years. www.solarworld-usa.com Susterra® Propanediol used in Greenway® solar heat transfer fluids DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products announces the introduction of Greenway® solar heat transfer fluids manufactured by Climalife and made with Susterra® propanediol. Susterra® propanediol offers solar thermal equipment owners a high performing, biobased glycol which can improve energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Susterra® is certified 100 percent biobased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it attractive for companies seeking to add renewable content to their products. www.duponttateandlyle.com integrators and installers Tokyo Electron Device expandes lineup of IGBT Gate Drivers with on-board optical fiber interface Tokyo Electron Device Limited has announced the launch of the newly developed IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) gate driver TD-BD-IGFB05K with an on-board optical fiber interface that enables control of 1700V/1200A class IGBTs on a single board. As plants for solar power generation, wind power generation and industrial-use inverters grow in size, systems for controlling high-voltage and high-current loads are becoming more complex. However, the reliability of such systems that use cables to connect with control boards cannot always be assured because of “noise,” the effects of lightning, etc. www.teldevice.co.jp aleo solar with comprehensive portfolio for self consumption systems With residential electricity prices rising and solar power subsidies falling, self consumption is now an attractive supplement to grid feed-in. Recognizing this, aleo solar has made extensive additions to its product portfolio—from system components optimized for self consumption to a professional training course for installers. System owners can thus gain independence from rising electricity prices. The aleo Solar Calculator can be used to work out the impact of self consumption on the operating efficiency of a photovoltaic system. www.aleo-solar.de 20 – Global Solar & Alternative Energies – May/June 2013 www.globalsolartechnology.com
New products AEG Power Solutions introduces new Protect PV.800 inverters with grid stabilizing features AEG Power Solutions has enhanced its product portfolio with an 880 kVA central solar inverter, the Protect PV.800. AEG PS has expanded its product spectrum for high-end output solar equipment and integrated grid stabilizing features, answering proactively to a major technical concern on the market. The PV.800 is a new member of the Protect PV solar inverter family that includes the PV.250, PV.500 and PV.630 in various indoor and outdoor configurations. The Protect PV.800 is able to support up to 1300 kWp. www.aegps.com Vishay Intertechnology introduces metallized polypropylene film snubber capacitor for direct IGBT mounting Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new high-performance metallized polypropylene film snubber capacitor. Configurable for direct mounting on insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules, the Vishay Roederstein MKP386M features a wide capacitance range from 0.047 to 10 microfarads, hightemperature operation to + 105 °C, and seven voltage ratings from 700 VDC to 2500 VDC and 420 VAC to 800 VAC. www. vishay.com SilTRUST* E110 silicone PV encapsulant now listed in the UL photovoltaic materials database Momentive Performance Materials Inc. informed that SilTRUST* E110 liquid silicone encapsulant is now listed in the UL photovoltaic materials database (File # E360688). The SilTRUST E110 liquid silicone encapsulant can enable photovoltaic module makers to boost efficiency and durability of crystalline silicon PV modules. SilTRUST E110 typically exhibits superior stability under extreme humidity, temperature and UV-radiation conditions, resulting in significant end-user benefits over the useful lifetime of a photovoltaic array installation. Developed with building-integrated PV applications in mind, SilTRUST E110 can help fulfill longterm aesthetics requirements and demonstrate durable, high-efficiency levels. www. momentive.com www.globalsolartechnology.com Global Solar & Alternative Energies – May/June 2013 – 21
