Micromorph Inventux-Technology: Jump in efficiency with 120 watts modules

Berlin, 20 April 2009. Inventux Technologies AG – a solar enterprise that was the first manufacturer in Europe to put the series production of micromorph thin-film solar modules into operation last December – has manufactured modules with a power-rating above 120 watts.

The non-toxic and future-orientated micromorph modules were manufactured during the course of the modern series production in Berlin. Roland Sillmann, CTO of Inventux Technologies AG, explains the new record: “Our team of process specialists possesses extensive know-how to increase module efficiency continually”, and adds: “With reference to the active cell area we now have jumped over the 9% efficiency barrier with the 120 watts class.”

Inventux modules of the X-Series MICROMORPH are presently marketed, for the most part, in the power classes of 110 and 115 watts.

About Inventux:

Inventux Technologies AG is a solar energy company specialising in the development, production and marketing of micromorph thin-film solar modules. The declared objective of the company, founded in 2007, is to become a world leader in the production of cost-efficient thin-film photovoltaic modules through industrial-scale production geared to market growth.

The advantages of thin-film technology, when compared with conventional crystalline module technology, are to be found in the markedly lower energy costs in the production process and the potential economies of scale. The manufacture of micromorph thin-film modules also requires significantly smaller volumes of solar-grade silicon, which is in short supply.

At its company headquarters in Berlin Inventux has begun production of silicon-based micromorph thin-film solar modules. With its 130-strong staff Inventux Technologies AG is one of the largest new start-up companies operating in the booming solar sector.
