The fifth EM Asia Innovation Awards recently honored DEK Solar for its PV3000 photovoltaic metallization solution. Presented to the DEK team at a ceremony in Shanghai, the industry accolade saw the PV3000 top the hotly-contested Alternative Energy Production Equipment category. Judged by an independent panel of industry experts in relation to innovation, challenging objectives and outstanding achievements, the PV3000 impressed high profile representatives from business, trade associations and academia with its capacity to deliver advanced levels of throughput. A breakthrough photovoltaic metallization solution, the PV3000 optimizes solar cell manufacturing productivity by deploying multiple print heads in parallel. If one head halts for operator attention, the others will continue to print – virtually eliminating downtime. “The PV3000 was born out of our drive to meet the specific requirements of customers in this industry and as such, boosts accuracy and repeatability, dramatically reduces downtime and drives throughput to unprecedented levels,” said Darren Brown, alternative energy business manager of DEK Solar. “Now being widely adopted by progressive manufacturers in Asia and beyond, the PV3000 is a breakthrough technology – and I’m delighted the EM Asia judges agree.” For more information, visit: www.deksolar.com
