Consumables supply for PV module manufacturing

The choice of modules and the elements that compose it have a significant impact on PV systems' ability to operate effectively, safely, and profitably. As such, we aim to support PV module manufacturers to create quality and high-performance modules that have a greater impact on the power utility and community.

We focus on supplying the Middle East PV industry with two key consumables for module manufacturing: insulative backsheets and string ribbons.

Backsheets: for safe, reliable, and durable modules

With its strategic partner in Germany, SIPCO supplies high quality German-made backsheet products for PV module assembly lines in the Middle East. Backsheets act as both an insulation and protective layer for modules, maintaining performance properties and offering protection for installers and maintenance workers of PV systems. They also protect against harmful environmental influences such as UV radiation, moisture, temperature fluctuations,
microparticles and corrosive gases. 

Our diverse set of product options and fast delivery mean more options and quick response for production managers. Our product categories include fluoropolymer and non-fluoropolymer based backsheets, backside contact application, and backsheets for thin-film modules:

• TPT™ / TPE with TEDLAR®
• KPK™ / KPE with KYNAR®
• PPE with polyester
• TAPE with TEDLAR®
• PAPE mit with Polyester
• BCF with TEDLAR® / copper

Our backsheets differentiate themselves by being suitable for extreme conditions, accompanied with value-added benefits of our +25 year experience and flexibility.

 

Solar ribbon: quality and customized connection of cells

With its strategic partner in Germany, SIPCO supplies high quality German-made flat wires for the solder connections of cells and strings of PV modules. The correct dimensions and type of the wire employed is crucial towards optimum yield and overall quality of the module. This is why we provide production managers with customized ribbons and connectors.

Our products include leaded and lead-free flat wires for various applications and can be optimized as per client needs:

• Cell connectors
• String connectors
• High-efficiency cell connector for increased module efficiency
• Painted cell connectors for visual harmony (e.g. BIPV purposes)
• Diverse coating alloys: SnPbAg / SnPb / SnAg / SnBi / SnBiAg / Sn / other customized
