Issue 16/2015 - Suntech co-promotes carbon nanotube photovoltaic modules with TCNT

Wuxi Suntech Solar Power Co.
, Ltd.
recently announced that it has successfully developed a low-cost, high-reliability new carbon nanotube frame structure photovoltaic module
through technical and commercial cooperation with Taiwan Carbon Nano Tube Company (TCNT).

The photovoltaic plastic frame produced by Wuxi Suntech using nanocarbon tubes weighs only half
of the weight of traditional aluminum alloy frames.
The frame has excellent mechanical properties, with a bending strength of 339MPa and complete insulation
.
The carbon nanotube plastic frame not only has obvious advantages over the aluminum alloy frame in terms of cost, but also is more convenient in the installation of photovoltaic modules, and the overall foggy black is not reflective, thereby increasing the use range of carbon nanotube plastic frame components, especially in extreme climatic environments
