Meyer Burger Technology Ltd. announced that solar module manufacturer REC Group started mass production of its new Alpha modules.
This new generation of modules is manufactured on Meyer Burger HJT/SmartWire core equipment and features the world's most powerful 60-cell solar panel and best-in-class power output of 380 Wp, representing 217 watts per square meter and providing 20% more power than conventional panels in the same area.
REC Group’s Alpha Series with heterojunction (HJT) technology rolls off the lines in October 2019 at the manufacturing site in Singapore. The change from the well-known PERC technology to HJT is a bold move for any solar panel manufacturer.
"We have started the initial production of the first 100 MW ahead of schedule, thanks to the excellent collaboration of the Meyer Burger and REC teams," said Steve O'Neil, REC Group CEO. "We will ramp up production up to 600 MW by Spring 2020. Our intention is to add Gigawatts of capacities with Meyer Burger production equipment and expand the speed of innovation by bringing additional partners to the table."
"This enabled the full potential of HJT/SmartWire technology as demonstrated in REC’s new Alpha Series," added Hans Brändle, CEO, Meyer Burger.
