Intersolar North America, which started today and is co-located with SEMICON West, focuses on photovoltaics and thermal solar technology. Attendees are invited to visit Lindes booth [#8129], where Linde specialists will highlight the companys leading turnkey solutions for PV manufacturing, its global network of gas facilities and its line of high purity gases and chemicals for both crystalline and thin film silicon cell manufacturing.
They will also discuss how to achieve new levels of performance using Lindes onsite fluorine chamber cleaning process. Continuing its drive to move industry focus from Grid Parity to Green Parity, Linde experts will be presenting on sustainable manufacturing during the conference:
- Paul Stockman, head of solar products and technology for Lindes Electronics business, will be presenting Materials Suppliers Perspectives as part of the track on Delivering on the Promise of Sustainable PV Manufacturing WHEN: 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Thursday, July 15 WHERE: Intercontinental Hotel
- Ian Travis, head of product management for Lindes Electronics business, will be presenting on Fluorine Chamber Cleaning: Reducing Carbon Footprint and Energy Pay-Back Timeat the Innovation Exchange WHEN: 3 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13 WHERE: Level 3, Moscone Centre West.
Linde has already enabled its electronics customers to reduce their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by a quarter of a million tons in 2010 by switching to on-site generated fluorine (F2) from nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). This is the same amount of CO2 produced by over 125,000 mid-size cars annually.
Over the past four years Linde has built a leading position in gases and chemical supply to both crystalline and thin film silicon PV module manufacturers, in key markets including Germany, Spain, Italy, China, Taiwan and India. To date, Linde has partnered customers on projects with a production capacity of more than 6GWp (Gigawatt peak).
