ALPHA® Photovoltaic Solar Products

For efficient, reliable solder interconnects on crystalline silicon (cSi) cells and modules, and on thin film PV systems

The multiple soldering interconnect steps in your PV module assembly process play a vital role in your throughput and yield.  How well you perform each step, along with the soldering materials you use, also have a major impact on  the efficiency and long-term reliability of the modules you’re building.  Alpha, the global expert in solder interconnect technology, can provide you with the right set of materials, as well as, guidance to help you optimize your assembly process. The result: high throughput, high yield production and high efficiency, high reliability solar modules. Connect with Alpha for: Interconnect and Busbar ribbon (including pre-fluxed Ready Ribbon®), Liquid Tabbing & Stringing  Fluxes, Solder Wire, Solder Paste, and Solder Preforms.
