TÜV Rheinland certificate for Oerlikon Solar ThinFabTM modules
Highest quality and reliability of Oerlikon’s thin film silicon modules confirmed
(firmenpresse) - The high level of quality and reliability Oerlikon Solar is offering to its customers was now
confirmed by TÜV Rheinland, an independent German technical service provider. Oerlikon
Solar’s thin film silicon solar modules in the range of up to 147 Wp designed for the
ThinFabTM production have passed all tests required according to IEC 61646 and IEC
61730 standards by TÜV Rheinland. “The TÜV Rheinland certification for our thin film
silicon solar modules of the ThinFab™ generation is an important differentiator in the
market which sets us apart from competition. Based on our technology, our customers can
offer end users highest module quality and reliability with a superior value-for-money ratio”,
said Helmut Frankenberger, CEO of Oerlikon Solar.
The TÜV Rheinland module performance and safety tests put Oerlikon Solar modules
through several months of extensive examination including accelerated lifetime tests for
heat, freezing, thermal cycles, humidity, and UV exposure. Mechanical impact tests were
also conducted. All tests were passed with success confirming all in-house analysis of
Oerlikon Solar. With the TÜV Rheinland certified module, producers are able to gain a
considerably higher price premium over uncertified modules. In many European countries,
these certificates are obligatory in order to receive renewable incentives. It also adds to the
confidence that extended endurance and product safety will be up to the latest standards.
The certification is valid world-wide, and it is just one part of the scalable and most reliable
platform from which Oerlikon Solar will build up its production and services. The certificates
guarantee Oerlikon Solar turnkey customers the highest standards available on the
market. “With this certification, Oerlikon Solar has majored a breakthrough in the thin film
silicon technology and positions itself clearly as a technology leader in equipment and
module design. We have been working with Oerlikon Solar for many years now. Their
extensive reliability testing has driven to high performing and reliable module designs”, said
Joerg Althaus, Business Field Manager Renewable Energies PV Module Qualification at
TÜV Rheinland.
