Deagu, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province/South Korea - The time has come! The 60-megawatt solar line of Jurasolar Co. Ltd., Korea, based in Deagu, some 240 km from the capital city of Seoul, was accepted by customers Jurasolar Co. Ltd. and J.v.G. Thoma GmbH on April 7, 2012. Just a few weeks later the new solar factory will be producing high-performance modules with very special properties: So-called "Desert modules", these provide outstanding results at maximum temperatures (up to 145° C). The official grand opening of the Korean manufacturing facility is planned for May.
German-Korean success story
Construction of the plant began in November 2011. Only six months later, production is about to begin. The production line of Korean Jurasolar Co. Ltd. comes from Bavarian solar manufacturing specialists J.v.G. Thoma. It uses a fully-automated Pv module production line. This will help Jurasolar Co. Ltd., Korea, to secure its position as a leader in a booming market. Korea has been investing in the development of renewable energies for about a decade. Green Growth - Energy and CO2 reduction is an integral part of the future growth policy of the country, confirms Korean ambassador Moon Tae-Young. The most important partner within Europe is Germany; the country's current trade volume is around 25 billion USD.
How the Desert modules deal with extreme temperatures
Deagu, where four games of the World Cup were played in 2002 and the World Athletics Championships took place in 2011, will in future be the place of production of modules which work reliably at more than 125° C. How does this work without a significant loss of performance? The answer is hidden inside: The new module has an ultra-thin film with high transparency and light transmission. This film is thermally-conductive and highly electrically-insulating. "We'll also use white glass, which is also very thin and increases the heat transfer many times. This is important for the cooling process. Our special anti-reflective coating increases the transmission and is water and stain-resistant," says Hans Thoma, General Manager of the J.v.G. Thoma Group and Managing Director of J.v.G. Thoma GmbH. Another benefit of the Desert modules: They have tripled the lifespan of comparable modules. Such a high-performance module provides maximum production for up to 40 years and longer. In addition, these modules are PID-free and 100% recyclable. These were important reasons for Korean businessmen Messrs. Kim and Bang to invest in the production of these modules.

Ltd., Korea, are both part of the internationally-active J.v.G. Thoma Group.
Background: Korean energy policy
The power requirements of the "Next Eleven State", as financial experts call Korea, are steadily increasing alongside its economic development. The country is considered by experts to have excellent growth prospects. This is why the fourth Basic Plan of Long Term Electricity Supply & Demand is planning the construction of numerous power plants by 2022. A total of approx. 50,000 billion won (approximately 27.6 billion EUR) will be invested. About 14 billion won will be invested in renewable energies and especially in the solar energy. After all: Despite the nuclear disaster in Japan, the country is staying true to its ambitious nuclear energy programme. Economic considerations play an important role in this. However, Fukushima has triggered a debate among the population - the public sees the current development and planning of further nuclear power plants in a poor light.

New energy for Bangladesh
Gazipur/Bangladesh – Power cuts are the order of the day in Bangladesh, besides air and environmental pollution being another major problem. Nonetheless there are enterprises that are determined to confront these challenges. A fine example of this is: In Teknogpara, in the district of Gazipur, the new solar factory Baneco Solar Energy Ltd. is coming up. The technical know-how comes from the J.v.G. Thoma GmbH Germany.
Baneco Solar Energy Ltd. has decided to acquire a semi-automatic unit from J.v.G. Thoma that has an annual efficiency of 20 MW. However, by mid 2012 this is expected to be increased to 40 MW. The ramp up is planned for the fourth quarter of 2012, which will be the last test phase before the market release.
The cooperation between Baneco Solar Ltd. and the group undertaking Thoma will be further intensified, as A.K.M. Mazibur Rahman will exclusively represent J.v.G. in Bangladesh.
Dependable energy suppliers: PV solutions for demanding deployment areas
Initially the product range of Baneco Solar Energy will include three systems: the JvG Desert Module, the JvG Flex Module and JvG Off Grid solutions. These PV modules developed by J.v.G. Thoma are perfectly customized to the conditions in Bangladesh, bearing in mind the climatic conditions like temperatures rising to 40°C during summer months, incessant rains and extreme humidity during the monsoon season (up to 99 % in July).
“Our Desert Module was subjected to the severest of tests according to the IEC/DIN standards as do all our products. They include, for example, a UV test, a Temperature Cycling Test, a Humidity Freeze Test and a Damp Heat Test. This module scored everywhere the best grades“, explained Hans Thoma, the General Manager of the J.v.G. Thoma Group. A special Anti-Reflex coating increases the transmission and, at the same time, acts as a water and dirt repellent layer.
The frameless Flex Module from J.v.G., on the other hand, does not require any substructure and, thus, opens up new locations of power generation. That is particularly important in a country where 80% of the population inhabit the rural regions. These series of modules, too, have passed several endurance tests before being introduced to the market.
Similarly, the socalled Off Grid solutions from J.v.G, which are standalone solar systems, are ideally suited for rural areas which can be catered to independent of the grid.
As a consequence, this opens up a wide area of developments for J.v.G. Thoma GmbH and, naturally, for the future products of Baneco Solar Energy Ltd.
About J.v.G. Thoma Group
As a leader in the industrial segment of construction of turnkey solar power generation units, J.v.G. Thoma GmbH with HQ at in Freystadt/Germany, has been operating internationally and takes care of customers in whole of Europe, America and Asia.
