Suntech to Introduce BIPV Products to European Market

Posted on: Wednesday, 11 June 2008, 09:01 CDT

Suntech Power Holdings, a manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and modules, has announced that it will introduce its Just Roof, Light Thru and QuikSnap building integrated PV products from its MSK Solar design line to the European market.

With more than 4,000 installations worldwide, Suntech's Just Roof is a roof integrated PV system designed to form a complete roof, replacing tiles or other roof coverings.

Suntech's Light Thru building integrated PV (BIPV) glazing encapsulates cells between two sheets of glass with enough spacing to allow light to pass through. Light Thru is made to order, allowing designers flexibility in specifying the desired size, cell type and cell spacing.

Suntech's QuikSnap panels reportedly provide a new approach to roof-mounted solar systems. By integrating the mounting fixtures into the module and making cable connection automatic, QuikSnap offers aesthetics and reliability in addition to reduced installation costs.

Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's chairman and CEO, said: "Suntech's MSK Solar design line incorporates a range of building integrated and semi-integrated products that give installers and end-users a much greater variety of solar applications and designs to choose from."
