BYDCompany Limited, one of Chinese new energy leader, announced that its BYD “430”silica gel Dual Glass Module and DESS Modular System launch on Intersolar Expoin Munich. It will greatly help to promote the BYD newenergy photovoltaic products into the global PV market after its debut inEurope.
The”430″ module, the world’s first silica gel double-glass photovoltaicmodule to be certified by TÜV Rheinland in Shanghai SNEC Expo, is adouble-glass module product developed and launched recently by BYD. The module usesDow Corning’s liquid silicone rubber as battery package material. “430” is anew standard set for all of BYD’s new solar offerings. The “4” represents that theproducts are estimated to work for 40 years. The “3” means that the averageannual power attenuation is as low as 0.3%. The “0” denotes PID free leaving nosnail tracks. This platform that BYD Photovoltaic will now stand upon,represents the durability, efficiency and reliability of their moduleofferings. The new double-glass modules surpass all standards for 1500 Voltsystems, and will reduce system depletion as well as guarantee higher yieldsfor large scale photovoltaic power stations.
“Collaboration between BYD and Dow Corning to develop double glass module with new silicone encapsulant combined two parties’ strengths in their own field and enabled superior reliability and durability of solar modules” says François Bertero, Dow Corning Global Solar Market Manager. “At Dow Corning we believe that innovative materials are key to addressing the industry’s challenge to drive down costs, enhance system performance, and help make solar more competitive with traditional energy sources ” Bertero added.
The other product unveiled in BYD`s debut is the BYD DESS in modular 19” design. While keeping its superior 5-connection-philosophy it comes now all in one rack. This not only allows easy installation and maintenance, it is also top-in-class in terms of system safety. By fulfilling all relevant battery certificates for automobile use and avoiding failures in transportation and installation it provides a maximum of safety for installers and end-customers. It uses BYD self-developed Fe-battery with very long cycle life, intelligent battery management system and advanced converter technology. The status can be monitored on an integrated 7”-touch-screen or via online monitoring. Being able to work either grid-connected or stand-alone in a real 3-phase mode, BYD DESS is aimed to provide clean, reliable and continued power for residential and commercial consumers.
Franz-Josef Feilmeier, CEO of BYDs German general distributor FENECON appreciates especially the clear focus on system safety: “The remarkable battery safety experience of BYD as electric car manufacturer with ecar-fleets running on all continents results for us and our customers in the big advantage of a detailed and sophisticated redundant safety concept. The modular DESS-systems include AC- as well as DC-overvoltage protection, smoke detector as well as bypass and emergency switch as serial standard. The innovative 5-connection-design ensures a great flexibility and the Y-connection of inverter makes the popular grid-parallel non-feed-in-function possible. As of now BYD DESS-systems are available at our wholesale-partners all over Germany.”
Over the past few years, BYD has developed a reputation as a Global New-Energy powerhouse. The company has made it clear that they want to be the leading solution to the worlds growing environmental problems. BYD“430”silica gel Dual Glass Module and DESS Modular System have already gained access to global markets. Facing the increasing competition in new energy market globally, It is the key strategic step for BYD’ PV and DESS to hit in the global market strategy. There is no doubt that BYD solar PV module and DESS Modular system already have industry-leading high-quality, high efficiency, high performance, high reliability and high security.
