Ningbo Solar Extends Manufacturing Capacity with DEK Metallization Lines

Ningbo Solar announced that it has purchased eight metallization lines from DEK Solar in a bid to extend its capacity to deliver high quality solar cells to the global marketplace. One of the world’s leading photovoltaic manufacturers, Ningbo Solar said it decided to implement the DEK PV1200 lines following an extensive evaluation period.

Commenting on the company’s decision to partner with DEK Solar, Ningbo Solar President Zhou Jianhong explained: "Having looked at several options to support production expansion, our decision to purchase eight solar lines from DEK was based on a number of compelling factors. Importantly, DEK was able to offer us a complete metallization solution backed by lead times of weeks, rather than months, a major productivity driver that obviously appealed to our team. Plus, offering six-sigma process capability at a resolution of ±12.5 micron, the lines were fully equipped to achieve the advanced repeatability and accuracy we needed – essential to uphold the quality production for which we are recognised worldwide. Other factors such as the compact footprint of individual lines, along with DEK’s attitude to service and support confirmed to us that this was the right option to support our customer base.”
