TULIPPS DEVELOPS UNIQUE SOLAR PV MODULES FOR LIGHT ROOFS

18-05-2011 - A long-time plastics-industry executive with 23 years’ experience in technical and commercial roles has founded a new company here to develop and commercialize a unique, lightweight solar photovoltaic (PV) module technology that harnesses the benefits of injection-molded automotive-grade composites to solve numerous issues with conventional roof-mounted PV modules utilizing aluminum frames. The company, called TULiPPS™ Solar B.V., is currently developing prototypes for testing by early customers, and has a goal of being commercial by 2012 with products initially focused on light, flat roofs common to large industrial buildings. Preliminary work on the company’s integrated COSMOS™ PV module design shows the patent-pending system will reduce weight and costs, speed installation, increase energy output per unit area, lower maintenance, and improve functionality vs. conventional systems.
