Following the successful launch of\u00a0REC Group’s\u00a0groundbreaking\u00a0Alpha\u00a0solar panel at Intersolar in\u00a0Munich\u00a0in\u00a0May 2019, a leading European brand for solar photovoltaic panels has announced that it has signed an MoU for a strategic collaboration with Swiss technology leader,\u00a0Meyer Burger. As a front running innovator leading the pack in solar technology, REC Group is looking to further leverage on the already existing collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the cutting-edge technology equipment by\u00a0Meyer Burger, REC’s Alpha module achieved groundbreaking efficiencies. As the world’s most powerful 60-cell solar panel, the announcement of Alpha was met by immediate interest and demand by the market and is expected to be a game-changer in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
REC intends to now increase its 600MW heterojunction technology (HJT) and SmartWire Connection Technology (SWCT) production capacity for Alpha, using equipment from\u00a0Meyer Burger, to multiple GW in cooperation with a potential strategic partner. REC is actively reviewing potential partners for the expansion. In exchange for adequate exclusivity protection for specific HJT and SWCT technology, REC is in principle prepared to enter into a profit-sharing agreement with\u00a0Meyer Burger. The terms for this are to be agreed by the companies and their respective Boards.\u00a0Building on the leading expertise that\u00a0Meyer Burger\u00a0brings to the table, REC is confident that this intense collaboration will create significant long-term company value for both parties and will reshape the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
REC Group’s CEO,\u00a0Steve O’Neil,\u00a0commented: “Together with\u00a0Meyer Burger, REC developed the industry’s flagship panel, the Alpha. We are confident that strengthening our partnership with\u00a0Meyer Burger\u00a0will further drive innovation and higher efficiencies, the only way to strongly empower consumers with clean and affordable solar energy and accelerate energy autonomy of communities worldwide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As the leading premium and integrated non-Chinese solar panel manufacturer and with its reputation for operational excellence, REC is the ideal partner to continue the commercialisation of\u00a0Meyer Burger’s\u00a0high efficiency PV technologies,” said Hans Br\u00e4ndle, CEO of\u00a0Meyer Burger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
