Advanced Solar Photonics Announces New Thin-Film Module Production Plant

Advanced Solar Photonics announced the SolarFab Production Plant. This thin-film production is set to pilot in April 2009, with full run capability in late 2010.

Lake Mary, Fl., April 9, 2009 - Advanced Solar Photonics, (ASP), the cutting-edge developer of laser marking, scribing, edge deletion and edge isolation systems for the solar industry, has expanded to a 318,000 sq ft facility to build a solar panel thin-film module production plant called SolarFab'. In April, the pilot line will be up and running with full production scheduled to ramp up by late 2010 with the ability to continue to increase in capacity. This opportunity will create approximately 200 green jobs in Florida.


With the dependence on foreign oil, environmental degradation and the vulnerability of power networks, SolarFab' is committed to developing ASP's thin-film SunPanels' for the greater use of clean energy alternatives such as solar power. ASPs' thin-film SunPanels' will be scalable and are expected to be able to reach grid parity by 2011 due to ASPs' patented manufacturing process and technologies which can increase efficiency levels and lower costs. Additionally, SolarFab' will help meet government and consumers' growing demand for increasingly efficient and cost- effective solar power.

"We understand manufacturing and building equipment - it's what we've done for the last decade. We have been studying this industry for a long time and are now ready to offer a complete laser solution that will achieve grid parity and help revolutionize the photovoltaic market," said Edgardo Rodriguez, Vice President of sales for Advanced Solar Photonics.

Reaching out to the photovoltaic industry, Advanced Solar Photonics and it's SolarFab' facility strive to keep manufacturing costs low utilizing proven patented technology geared to improve and lower the cost per kilowatt in thin-film panels.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
