Trubbach (Switzerland), September 5, 2011, Oerlikon Solar today introduced a new component, setting a new record with a stable power of 154 watts (peak) and a conversion efficiency of 10.8%. This means an increase of 8% compared to the previous peak power. By early 2013, this record-breaking component will be mass-produced on the Oerlikon Solar ThinFabTM production line, which will significantly reduce production costs.
“To further reduce the production costs of solar modules and make photovoltaic energy economically viable, we are committed to investing in research and development,†explains Helmut Frankenberger, CEO of Oerlikon Solar. "The new record shows that our thin-film silicon technology is advanced and outstanding."
Oerlikon is one of the world's largest developers and manufacturers in the design and manufacture of complete production lines and equipment for the mass production of environmentally friendly thin-film silicon solar modules. In addition to continuously improving conversion efficiency, the company has also successfully reduced the production costs of solar modules. With the 120 MW ThinFabTM production line, Oerlikon successfully reduced module production costs to 0.50 EUR/kWh, a reduction of nearly half compared to the previous generation. The reduction in production costs is mainly due to the optimized use of materials to strengthen the production capacity of the production line and thereby increase the output of the film.
The photovoltaic terminal market is currently mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States and Japan. Recently, Oerlikon Solar received an order for the first ThinFabTM production line from an Asian customer. The company expects that Asia will become a region of high growth potential in the future.

Stop Valves are closed by screwing a rubber gasket down onto a seat in the middle of the valve. Pros only use small versions that act as shutoff valves for fixtures such as sinks and toilets and outdoor sillcocks. Flow is inefficient because of the circuitous route the fluid (water, in most cases) has to follow. It's important to orient the valve in the right direction with the arrow (cast into the side of the valve) aligned with flow direction. That way, water flows against the bottom of the rubber gasket. If the valve is put in backward, the flow will force the gasket away from the top of the valve.
