Astronergy Expands ZBB Technology to Large Size PV Modules with TÜV Rheinland Certification

Astronergy has announced a significant milestone in its manufacturing capabilities with the certification of its mass-produced ASTRO N5 ZBB solar modules by TÜV Rheinland. This achievement was highlighted at the SNEC PV Power Expo, marking a crucial advancement in Astronergy’s utilization of the Zero Busbar (ZBB) process for large-size photovoltaic (PV) modules.

The ZBB process, also known as Zero Busbar interconnection technology, enhances the reliability, power output, and aesthetic appeal of solar modules. The certification of the ZBB-TOPCon module for the ASTRO N5 series signifies the successful application of this technology to large-size solar modules, specifically those with 72 and 78 cells. This development underscores Astronergy’s innovative approach and leadership in advanced manufacturing processes.

As the pioneering company in the industry to implement the ZBB process technology in mass production, Astronergy first introduced the ASTRO N7 series last year, which received the world’s first TÜV Rheinland certification for such modules. Since then, hundreds of megawatts of ASTRO N7s have been delivered to international customers as of February this year.

With the new ZBB certification for the ASTRO N5 series and the recent commencement of operations at the Astronergy Fuyang Manufacturing Base, which boasts a 5GW ZBB TOPCon production capacity, the company is poised to meet the growing demand for its innovative products both domestically and internationally. This expansion will allow Astronergy to cater to various application scenarios with its ZBB TOPCon products, further solidifying its position in the global PV market.
