Valoe`s Solar PV Modules

Valoe´s Back Contact Technology in Module Manufacturing Brings Efficiency, Versatility and Long Service Life

A conventional PV module consists of 60 or 72 solar cells. In a traditional panel, that most of the panels on the market are, electricity passes through electrical wires fixed with lead-containing solders to the surface of the cell. In a back contact module, the solar electricity is derived from the back side of the cells to a module sized conductive and flexible circuit board. The front of the module is completely left for the power generation without any shading metal wires or poisonous lead.

The high degree of automation in the back contact technology produces efficient, consistent and durable solar modules. The back contact modules are environmentally friendly, non-toxic and at the end of service life recyclable.

Back Contact Module Structure

The glass-to-glass structure provides the best protection against UV radiation, moisture, wind and other environmental hazards, and maintains the panel's ability to generate electricity for a long lifetime.

Bifacial Power Generation

Bifacial solar modules produce the most economical electricity as the back side of the module collects additional electricity from the reflected light.

Valoe Odd Form Modules

Unconventional Odd Form Modules

Odd-Form modules refer to all module types other than a conventional 60/72 cell panel. The installation environment for mass-produced conventional modules is adapted to the characteristics of the module. Odd Form panels, on the other hand, adapt to the environment or application. They are customized solutions for a special user, not bulk products. Some other features, like clean looks, might be decisive.

Odd-Form can mean a different size, shape, structure or materials of a panel. The Odd-Form can be, for example, glass-glass, glass-composite or composite polymer. The choice of materials affects, for example, the weight and impact resistance of the panel. Odd Form may require the cells to be split very small if the panel needs to bend or flex. Different uses set many criteria, the fulfillment of which requires a lot of product development. However, generating electricity on-site is worth pursuing and will soon be a reality.
