Innovative Product Receives 2012 Intersolar Award


ISRA VISION AG: New revenue potentials in the photovoltaic industry

At Intersolar Europe 2012, the international leading trade fair of the solar industry, the world market leader from Darmstadt for surface inspection systems and leading provider for 3D Machine Vision received the 2012 Intersolar AWARD for a new product in the category "Photovoltaic Production Technology". The award-winning luminescence inspection system inspects the quality of solar cells and photovoltaic modules in the production line. Compared to existing systems, the quality assessment could be improved significantly. This product now offers companies in the solar industry the possibility to detect and sort out only those cells that are actually defective. This reduces incorrect rejects as well as increases quality and yield while simultaneously lowering costs - an important competitive advantage for ISRA and its customers. In the currently difficult Solar market environment, the company is very well positioned with its new product for automation and yield maximization for the photovoltaic industry and has once again proven its innovative strength.

ISRA also reached a high degree of attention with this technology at the SNEC PV Power Expo 2012 in Shanghai, China. The new application and its fast return-on-investment met once again with great interest among the Chinese manufacturers of solar cells and photovoltaic.

Intersolar 2012 and SNEC PV Power Expo 2012 are good examples of ISRA's focus on introducing innovations with its presence at worldwide leading trade fairs, and generating new growth.
