SHANGHAI, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solarfun Power
Holdings Co., Ltd., ( "Solarfun" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: SOLF),
a vertically integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots, wafers and
photovoltaic ("PV") cells and modules in China, today announced that it will launch its
new "SolarIris" line of building integrated photovoltaic ("BIPV")
modules at the International Solar ("Intersolar") Europe Conference
in Germany, from June 7 to 11, 2010. With more than 1,800
exhibitors and 60,000 visitors expected, Intersolar is one of the
biggest solar-related trade shows in the world.
Building on its many years of expertise in BIPV, Solarfun was
able to integrate its high efficiency cells into a new module that
is both highly reliable and aesthetically pleasing. As with
the rest of Solarfun's lineup of PV cells and modules, the
SolarIris modules will also be compliant with the quality
standards that are widely followed in the industry, including ISO
9001, TUV, CE, and UL.
SolarIris will appeal to the aesthetic preferences of
architects, decorators, designers, and consumers. It improves on
the typical visual trade-off of other hollow BIPV modules due to
the effects of soldering on the back of a cell. In contrast, the
SolarIris module features highly-visible and visually pleasing
artistic patterns and designs. Built with three layers of glass,
SolarIris conforms to architectural requirements for glass
thickness and strength, allowing it to be easily and safely
integrated into the roof or walls of a structure. In addition, high
light transmittance and insolation properties make SolarIris
suitable for greenhouses, skylights, and even windows.
SolarIris offers a range of design patterns from which to
choose, or modules which can be customized to fit any residential
or commercial decor. In addition to the aesthetic benefits,
SolarIris also offers some structural improvements. The junction
box has been sealed in a plastic housing and installed inside the
hollow layer of the structure along with the other components.
Electrical characteristics, external dimensions, and light
transmission can all be adjusted to fit a customer's specific
requirements. The new modules have passed more than 2,000 hours of
high-temperature and high-humidity aging testing, showing that they
are able to deliver energy in adverse conditions throughout their
lifespan.
"We are proud to introduce our new SolarIris BIPV modules at
Intersolar in Munich," said
Peter Xie, President of Solarfun.
"We expect continued growth in the BIPV market and this addition to
the Solarfun portfolio offers an attractive PV module that
satisfies both our customers' energy needs and design
preferences."
