TULIPPS WINS 2012 DUTCH SOLAR...

TULIPPS FIRST TO USE ULTRA-THIN, SINGLE-LAYER SOLAR GLASS FROM DUCATT

01-01-2012 - EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands – In another first for the solar photovoltaic (PV) module market, TULiPPS Solar B.V. is the first company to use special 2-mm/0.08 inch, single-layer toughened solar glass from Ducatt NV (Lommel, Belgium, http://www.ducatt.com/ ), produced via the patented tempering process developed by LiSEC Group (Hausmening, Austria, http://lisec.com ). This ultra-thin ultra-clear glass provides frameless COSMOS™ solar modules from TULiPPS with increased break resistance, light transmittance, and energy-generating efficiency/unit area while also reducing module weight and overall costs (Watt-peak installed). Owing to TULiPPS’ own patent-pending frameless module design, it is the first company able to take full advantage of the significant benefits of the special Ducatt glass produced on LiSEC tempering equipment that has the potential to significantly change how solar modules are built and their capacity to generate energy.
