Neo Solar launches 2 crystalline products
Neo Solar Power launched two new high-efficiency products, multi-crystalline Super17” and mono-crystalline “Perfect18”. Both products debuted in the “Intersolar 2010” in Munich, Germany in June 2010 and were highly appreciated by the customers. The Hsinchu, Taiwan-based NSP’s newly launched 6 inch multi-crystalline “Super17” has breakthrough average conversion efficiency of above 17 per cent. “Super17” demonstrates panel makers the potential to increase power output to 250W, using 60-cell configuration. In addition, NSP’s 6 inch square mono-crystalline “Perfect18” with the “full square wafer” not only increases the active area by more than 2per cent compared to the conventional “pseudo-square” with the cut-off corners but also demonstrates extremely low light induced degradation. “Perfect18” has superior average efficiency of above 18%. With superior power density, “Perfect18” will be able to provide panel power output of 260W, using 60-cell configuration. “These two ideal solutions are recognition of our efforts in strengthening R&D and enhancing production knowhow in producing high quality and high efficiency cells,” said Dr. Quincy Lin, Chairman of NSP.
