Valencia - September 2008
All products and/or services are new for 2008, already availble or to be launched in the following weeks.
microDRILL EWT
3D-Micromac AG, leading supplier of tailored laser micromachining systems, announces the launching of a dedicated workstation for back-side contacting of emitter wrap-through (EWT) solar cells. The novel-machining concept is based on the approved microDrill family.
Driven by the Renewable Energy Sources Act, solar industry is scrutinizing ever more effective ways to directly convert solar energy into electric current. The resulting technological stimulus advances the application of particularly flexible tools for micro structuring. For edge isolation as well as selective ablation of layers in the fabrication of thin-film solar cells, laser micromachining techniques are already well-established. Moreover, laser drilling proved predestined for the highly efficient generation of micro holes in EWT solar cells.
Staying abreast of these changes, 3D-Micromac AG advanced the approved microDRILL system. Utilizing an 80 W infrared laser, 5,000 clearance holes can be drilled per second. Their exact alignment at a repeat accuracy of 5 µm is achieved by edge and mark recognition.
Therewith, the preconditions for the generation of micro holes during an industrial-scale fabrication of EWT solar cells are given. Tino Petsch, CEO of 3D-Micromac AG says: „With immediate effect, our customers also in this range do benefit from our long-standing experience in the development of industrial laser micromachining workstations.
3D-Micromac AG, a leading supplier of customized laser micro machining systems, has gained an established position in the international market over the past several years. As a developer and manufacturer of complex workstations, as a service provider for materials and surface machining or as a solution provider for the development of specific production processes - we are able to find the best solution for every customer’s task.

CANDI DeZn
As DiethylZinc (DeZn) usage is rapidly increasing in photovoltaic applications for the deposition of the Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) layer by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), the need for a safe centralized liquid delivery system has become necessary in order to minimize fire hazards and optimize uptime of the deposition equipment. A dedicated version of Air Liquide's proprietary CANDI system was developed to meet ever-increasing requests for the centralized distribution of DeZn using large source tanks (up to 1500 liters). Specific features such as the tank change-out sequence, back-up distribution mode, tight delivery pressure control (+/- 50 mbar) and empty tank detection technique ensure a contamination-free, reliable & cost saving distribution of the precursor to the process. Unique safety features for DEZ distribution include a dedicated metal-alkyl vapor abatement system, hard-wired fire detection and double-wall containment for the distribution lines.
Air Liquide CANDI equipment are cost-effective, safe and reliable systems designed for the delivery of liquid precursors for deposition applications. The CANDI system has been widely used in Europe, Asia and US for several years.
With more than 40,000 employees in 75 countries, Air Liquide is the world leader in industrial and medical gases and related services. The Group offers innovative solutions based on constantly enhanced technologies and produces air gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon...) and many other gases including hydrogen and specialty gases such as monosilane. The Group contributes to the manufacturing of many everyday products: ultra-pure gases for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industry, bubbles in sparkling beverages, protective atmosphere for packed foods, oxygen for hospitals and homecare patients, hydrogen for desulfurize fuels.
Air Liquide is committed to sustainable development and helps to protect life. Founded in 1902, Air Liquide has successfully developed a long-term relationship with its shareholders built on trust and transparency and guided by the principles of corporate governance. Sales in 2007 totaled 11,801 million euros, with sales outside France accounting for almost 80%. Air Liquide is listed on the Paris stock exchange and is a component of the CAC 40 and Eurostoxx 50 indices (ISIN code FR 0000120073).

Studer Xtender XTM. Danfoss TripleLynx Inverter Range
Bureau Baterías is an official distributor in Spain of Danfoss and Studer. Bureau will be presenting two new product ranges at EU PVSEC 2008 in Valencia the Studer Xtender XTM and the Danfoss TripleLynx range.
Studer Xtender
The Xtender series provides an unmatched freedom of use thanks to its many functions. In a basic application, it offers together the functions of inverter, battery charger, transfer system and assistance to the source. These functions can be combined and controlled in a totally automatic way for an exceptional comfort and an optimal management of the energy available.
Its programmable auxiliary contacts allow as well the interconnection with existing systems or the implementation of extended functions. Fully programmable by means of its remote control, it enables the update of the software, thus making it an upgradeable product.
Danfoss TripleLynx
TripleLynx inverters are designed to deliver maximum yield in all conditions. With a peak efficiency of 98% the TripleLynx inverter boasts class leading performance, with virtually no energy loss. The weighted EU efficiency is >97% and is the result of a component layout designed for optimum power output.
The TripleLynx inverter is designed for high performance and is the first string inverter to combine a 1000Voc input range, 250-800 V mpp range and multiple DC input in a single unit. 1000 volt input enables you to use more modules in series. This means that the number of strings can be reduced, resulting in significantly lower installation costs.
Balanced 3 phase output ensures that TripleLynx inverters comply with utility standards. No current flows in the neutral conductor under balanced voltage conditions, which reduces losses on the AC side compared to three single phase inverters. A significant advantage is that only one inverter is required for three phased output, which makes installation both easier and cheaper than installing three single phase inverters.
Bureau Baterias, a leading company in the field of technical solutions in AC/DC electrical equipment, bases its success as much on the quality of its products as on its service and consultancy. Bureau supplies a range of products for solar installation projects and in AC/DC in general, offering a wide range of solutions: batteries, current inverters, chargers, regulators, combis, monitors,…and all required accessories. Bureau has gained the trust of their clients through efficient service and effective technical consultancy in projects and budgets, as well as on-site technical assistance. Bureau also provide integrated solutions for access to AC electrical energy in boats and isolated areas. •
