Yohkon Energia Receives TUV NORD Certification For Its CIGS Photovoltaic Module YEC200
The module photovoltaic YEC200, manufactured exclusively by the Spanish company YOHKON ENERGIA S.A, was awarded the TÃœV NORD certification, being tested according to IEC 61646, IEC 61730-1 and IEC 61730-2
Online, August 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The module photovoltaic YEC200 developed and manufactured by the Spanish company YOHKON ENERGIA S.A has been recently awarded by the Certification Body for Product Safety of TÃœV NORD CERT GmbH in cooperation with AT4 wireless, Technology center located in Malaga (Spain).
All tests were successfully achieved according to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for both Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic modules design qualification and type approval as well as Photovoltaic modules safety qualification, in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their expected lifetime.
Like its line of framed and frameless silicon based modules, the framed solar panel YEC200 is manufactured using a glass-backsheet design, whereby the 4mm cover glass is ensuring mechanical stability. Based on Global Solar (U.S.A) technology, this line of modules becomes an alternative to silicon based ones, specially when sunlight conditions are limited.
The module YEC200 is already powering several installations through Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Other important projects are on going in France and Belgium.
