Delta's Featured Products at PV Expo 2009

High Concentrating Photovoltaic (HCPV) System Solution - Delta Electronics, Inc. http://www.delta.com.tw/product/cp/cpv/cpv_main.asp

Since 2005, Delta's strategic partnership with Spectrolab has developed high quality concentration photovoltaic receivers for their high efficiency multi-junction solar cells. Two standard cell assemblies (CA0505 and CA1010) are already available to the market and are used by many CPV module makers worldwide. Delta's first generation MA0505 high concentrating photovoltaic (HCPV) module uses Spectrolab's 37% high efficiency multi-junction solar cell and has constantly achieved over 25% efficiency in production. The HCPV module has passed the 13 testing criteria of IEC62108 and Delta has shipped over 4,000 units to customers.

Besides the HCPV module, Delta will also debut its own tracker and sensor products during PV Expo to offer complete system solutions to customers. Meeting strict requirements for operating in harsh environments, Delta's tracker has sensors with anti-jamming functions for cloudy conditions and it is able to achieve a high precision tracking accuracy of 0.05 degrees. All Delta products are RoHS compliant.

Highly Efficient Central Inverter System - Delta Energy Systems www.solar-inverter.com

Delta Energy System is presenting a prototype of its new highly efficient CI 100 Central Inverter, which offers maximum flexibility, user-friendliness and high reliability due to its modular system concept. The modular central inverter system has up to nine inverter modules, which can provide a power output of 11 kW to 100 kW. The transformer based system has a peak efficiency up to 95.6%. With the CI 100 Delta is meeting the demands of the market in terms of flexible inverter solutions with higher power ratings.

Advanced c-Si Solar Cells and Solar Modules - DelSolar Co. Ltd. www.delsolarpv.com

With strong technology, innovative R&D, and in-house automation, DelSolar has successfully developed a new series of cells with conversion efficiencies of 18.3% for mono-crystalline and 16.6% for multi-crystalline silicon cells. This industry-leading achievement is scheduled for volume production in Q3 this year.

In addition to high-efficiency, the new cells also feature a low temperature coefficient, less light-induced degradation, minimal module hot spot risk, and provide an extra premium to module and system customers with their high power output.
