The IEC 61646 and 61730 certifications demonstrate that Odersun’s modules meet the IEC’s norms regarding function, quality and safety. These certificates of compliance were awarded by the German Engineering Association VDE for the company’s 1 by 1.70m framed glass-foil modules built of Odersun’s CIS-on-copper-tape cells.
Odersun starts the ramp-up of its 20MW manufacturing facilities in Furstenwalde (Spree), Germany.
Hein Zeeuw, CEO of Odersun, said: “With starting production we are able to deliver Odersun’s aesthetically appealing CIS solar modules to our customer base this quarter. This is an excellent foundation for us to further expand our product portfolio with customized solar modules for architectural building integration. For this, we are cooperating with various partners from the building industry.”
Odersun technology allows customization of solar modules. In its manufacturing process, Odersun uses flexible copper tape as basic component and carrier for the CIS solar cell. This basis enables the fabrication of solar modules to customer specifications in any size, power and design.
Odersun designs and manufactures silicon free solar products using a proprietary thin-film technology.
