All of the units are scheduled for shipment in the fourth quarter of this year. We are pleased that our customer is again relying on BTU and Tritan when increasing their production volumes, said Jan-Paul van Maaren, Ph.D., vice president of marketing at BTU. This customer, known for high-efficiency solar cells, has found Tritans TriSpeed technology enabling, which is consistent with the experimental results many other customers have seen.
The Tritan metallization firing system, featuring BTUs exclusive TriSpeed technology, allows users to take advantage of superior ramp rates – up to 200ºC per second – while not compromising the drying and cooling sections of the profile. The three-belt, three-speed system provides revolutionary control of profile development. In performance trials, Tritan has consistently shown an improvement in fill factor, resulting in increased efficiency. This, combined with Tritans low cost of ownership, delivers the lowest cost per watt.
