Aurora Inks Evaluation Pact with another SMSL Member for Bifacial Solar Cell Line

The motive behind the deal is to document the capabilities of the company’s Decima Gemini measurement system and Veritas visualization system for this major producer’s new bifacial solar cell production facilities.

Solar cell measurement equipment specialist Aurora Solar Technologies has signed an evaluation pact with another Silicon Module Super League (SMSL) member in China.

The motive behind the deal is to document the capabilities of the company’s Decima Gemini measurement system and Veritas visualization system for this major producer’s new bifacial solar cell production facilities.

As per the deal, the company will install and calibrate a Decima 3T Gemini System on the producer’s new bifacial production line and provide the Veritas process mapping software on an evaluation basis.

The company will then work with the producer’s process engineers to document the accuracy, repeatability and ability to measure the properties of the bifacial cells.

Moreover, the system is expected to be delivered in early June with a commercial decision expected after a three-month evaluation period.

This is the third Super League member either evaluating or purchasing Aurora’s unique technology for advanced cell production lines.

Besides, the company has received several recent requests to provide volume quotations from major producers of Passivated Emitter Rear Cells (PERC) based in China with decisions expected within few months.

The SMSL is tracked by Solar Media Ltd and comprised of seven companies that will each ship in excess of 4GW of modules this year. These include Jinko Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, GCL, LONGi Solar, Canadian Solar, JA Solar and Trina Solar.
