DEK Solar was recently awarded the top prize in the PV Process Equipment category at the Solar Industry Awards, held at the recent European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC).
Voted for by members of the public rather than a closed panel, the PV Process Equipment category attracted the highest number of votes, which eventually cast the PVP1200 as a best-in-class solar technology. Delivering the high yields and throughput rates required by the solar processing sector, the machine has driven high accuracy metallisation of crystalline silicon solar cells. All the features of the PVP1200 that provide its competitive edge come from its innovative design. Exceptionally compact, the modular platform makes the most of factory floor space while dedicated handling for thin wafers maximises yield.
Commenting on the award, DEK’s Alternative Energy business manager, Darren Brown explained: “We are immensely proud of what we have achieved since our entry into the alternative energies market, so it is extremely gratifying to be rewarded in this way. This award is particularly special because it was voted for by members of the public; people who have seen what a difference the platform has made to the industry and, most importantly, to the bottom line of their business. We launched the PVP1200 at EU PVSEC in 2008, so to return a year later and collect an industry award for its contribution to the quest for grid parity is fantastic. Having launched our new PV3000 metallisation solution at the show this year, who knows what 2010 has in store for us and our customers.”
