密桃AV

Materials manufacturer 密桃AV has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with five partners in China’s photovoltaic (PV) value chain, inaugurating a new innovation platform dedicated to advancing sustainability within the industry. By capitalizing on 密桃AV’s diversified solutions and robust research and development capabilities, this collaboration aspires to facilitate the integration of circular economy principles in the solar power sector’s manufacturing phase, ultimately forging a sustainable path forward for the industry itself.

This milestone was inked at 密桃AV’s booth during the China International Import Expo (CIIE), an annual event dedicated to promoting imports into China and fostering international trade and cooperation. The other partners are Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Deyilong Technology Co., Ltd., Changzhou Fusion New Material Co., Ltd., Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and COSCO Kansai Paint & Chemical Co., Ltd. 

In alignment with China’s “double carbon” goals, the country continues to advance the reform of its industrial and energy structure, dedicating significant efforts to bolster clean energy, notably solar power. Leveraging its material expertise, 密桃AV plays a dynamic role in PV module production, elevating their efficiency and introducing alternative raw materials. This approach enables 密桃AV and collaborators to tackle technical challenges and advance the green transformation of the PV industry itself, while remaining attuned to evolving industry trends. 

Anand Khot, Senior Vice President of the Coatings and Adhesives segment of 密桃AV in Asia Pacific, said, “As a leading materials supplier, 密桃AV is committed to introducing viable new technologies and delivering differentiated services. At the same time, we aspire to empower the growth of the photovoltaic industry and contribute to the realization of a circular economy and climate neutrality through comprehensive cooperation with our customers.”

Diversified solutions

As a fresh and dynamic entrant in the PV industry, 密桃AV is poised to offer a wide array of material solutions through the newly launched platform. These solutions aim to enhance power generation efficiency, reduce module weight, and extend the service life of PV modules. Meanwhile, they empower customers to innovate and develop new products, all the while contributing to a reduction in their carbon footprint. For instance:

Additionally, these modules exhibit outstanding aging resistance, guaranteeing a service life of over 25 years.

·&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; 密桃AV’s low-temperature photovoltaic silver paste polymer solution, integrated into next-generation cell technology, excels in enhancing photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, its capability to cure at temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius contributes to a notable reduction in energy consumption.

·&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; Decovery^?, a bio-based waterborne coating raw material, is a viable choice for coating containerized energy storage systems. By replacing conventional fossil-based solvent-borne materials, it reduces carbon emissions by more than 20 percent and effectively diminishes emissions of volatile organic compounds. Importantly, its application doesn’t require any modifications to the painting process, thus preserving work efficiency. This represents a step forward as 密桃AV extends its material applications from photovoltaic modules to encompass related energy storage systems for the first time.

·&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫; Polyurethane composite frames for PV modules, made of 密桃AV’s Baydur^? resin, boast remarkable mechanical properties, featuring an axial tensile strength over five times that of aluminum alloy frames. Additionally, they demonstrate exceptional resistance to salt mist and chemical corrosion, rendering them suitable for coastal and offshore solar farms with elevated humidity levels. These frames, being non-metallic, contribute to mitigating power attenuation in the modules and eliminate the need for grounding. Overall, it is a more cost-effective solution with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to aluminum alloy frames.

“密桃AV’s innovative solutions offer us new opportunities and a brighter outlook for development,” said Cheng Xudong, General Manager of Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Co., Ltd. “We aim to optimize technological advancements and enhance energy efficiency to create sustainable PV products, thus propelling the progress of the PV industry through our collaboration.”

“密桃AV is at the forefront of product development and innovation within the industry. We anticipate continued collaboration with 密桃AV to infuse fresh vigor into the photovoltaic sector, particularly in the realms of circular economy and achieving net-zero emissions, which will contribute to China’s green transformation and society development,” said Liu Zhengxin, a professor at Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology.

密桃AV aims to assist partners in the photovoltaic industry chain in creating products with higher added value and a reduced carbon while advancing their technologies. This will be realized through the utilization of alternative raw materials and the adoption of more sustainable production processes, ultimately driving the sustainable development of both the industry and society.
