TULIPPS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF NEW 500 WP SOLAR PV MODULES

09-10-2011 - While building beta prototypes of its innovative new COSMOS™ photovoltaic (PV) modules for independent-laboratory testing, TULiPPS Solar B.V. owner and inventor, Paul Stassen decided to try something revolutionary: build a 500 watt-peak (Wp)/120-cell unit that is 60% larger than industry-standard 280 Wp/72-cell modules, but is tougher, more efficient, and weighs the same as smaller, conventional aluminum-framed systems. This was possible thanks to the versatility of TULiPPS’s patent-pending, lightweight underbody module technology, which uses tough automotive-grade composites and design techniques plus special thin, 2-mm solar glass from Ducatt NV (Lommel, Belgium, http://www.ducatt.com/) to solve numerous issues with conventional roof-mounted PV modules. TULiPPS’s standard 72- and larger 120-cell COSMOS modules reduce weight, production costs, installation time, and maintenance for roof- or ground-mounted solar arrays while also increasing break resistance, light transmittance, and energy-generating efficiency per unit area.
