Oct. 20, 2009 (PR Newswire) --
SHANGHAI, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Solarfun" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: SOLF), a vertically integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots and photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules in China, today announced that it will attend the Solar Power International Conference ("SPI"), which will take place from October 27-29, 2009 at the convention center in Anaheim, California.
A number of Solarfun's senior management members will attend the conference and host one-on-one investor meetings. Senior management members will also participate in a number of investor forums during the conference, including those sponsored by Lazard on October 27, and Deutsche Bank and Piper Jaffray on October 28.
Solarfun will also take the opportunity to introduce its next-generation products and technology to the solar industry, including system integrators and installers, utilities, investors, project developers, policymakers and others in the industry.
On display will be:
Black Diamond Modules: Solarfun has combined the performance and reliability of its solar technology with a streamlined, all-black appearance. The result is a high-performance solar module that is ideal for installations where appearance counts.
SF260 Series Modules: Solarfun's most powerful module yet. This series features a 72-cell layout for optimized output per module. With power output of up to 310 watts, the modules are ideal for utility scale installations.
SF^2: Square Monocrystalline Cells: Solarfun's SF^2 cells feature a full square shape, which increases the overall light absorbing surface of the cell. This produces a 5% boost in module efficiency compared to traditional cells.
Low LID Degradation (LID = light-induced degradation): A significant percentage of PV degradation and material aging occurs during the first day of sun exposure. Solarfun's low LID degradation technology reduces this initial light-induced cell degradation, which in turn increases the lifetime value of these modules.
Triple Busbar Cells: By decreasing the amount of space between busbars and the distance the current must travel, Solarfun's triple busbar cells reduce current loss and increase total cell output. The median output for the 3-busbar modules is approximately 4 watts higher than for 2-busbars modules.
Crimson-Backed Cells - BIPV: This unique BIPV product features Solarfun's crimson-backed cells for an attractive and innovate appearance.
