Excellent Solderability
Max Power Efficiency

Industry Solution Path

Solar PV conductor solution path

Match PV ribbon and busbar ribbon to cell technology, soldering window, module layout and reliability test plan before replacing pure copper ribbon.

Recommended Materials

  • Copper-aluminum composite PV ribbon for copper-saving module designs
  • Composite busbar ribbon and interconnect ribbon for module current collection
  • Low-temperature ribbon for HJT or heat-sensitive processes after solderability review
  • Precision copper strip or flat wire for tooling, test or connection support

Selection Path

  1. 1 Confirm TOPCon, HJT, BC or mainstream cell technology and stringer model.
  2. 2 Define width, thickness, coating alloy, camber limit and spool format.
  3. 3 Validate resistance, peel strength, solderability and reliability test plan.

RFQ Checklist

  • Cell technology and module layout
  • Ribbon width, thickness, coating and camber
  • Soldering temperature and target peel strength
  • Spool format, quantity and trial schedule

Validation Notes

  • Do not substitute ribbon only from width and thickness.
  • Module power impact and reliability data should be reviewed before mass adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of PV ribbons do you offer?

We offer a wide range including standard flat interconnect ribbons, bus bars, and specialized LCR (Light Capturing Ribbon) grooved ribbons designed to reflect more light onto the cell surface.

How do your ribbons ensure long-term reliability?

Our ribbons are manufactured with high-purity copper and precise solder coatings. They are engineered with optimized Yield Strength and Elongation properties to withstand thermal expansion and contraction cycles over 25 years.

Are they compatible with new cell technologies?

Yes, we have solutions compatible with PERC, TOPCon, and HJT cell technologies, including ultra-soft ribbons for thinner wafers to minimize breakage.
