More press releases
Renewable Energy Supplies The largest business area, Renewable Energy Supplies, consists of
Gällivare Photo Voltaic AB (GPV: www.gpv-solar.com), a company
that was acquired by Eco Supplies in July of 2010.
GPV targets a market, the solar industry, which in Europe is expected to grow well over 30% during 2010-2013.
Established in 1992, Gällivare PhotoVoltaic AB – GPV – was the first, and is still one of the largest, Scandinavian producers of high quality Solar Power Modules for the solar industry.
The company targets a market, the solar industry, which in Europe is expected to grow well over 30% during 2010-2013.
Between 1993 and 2008, GPV was growing by 20-30% on a yearly basis and in 2009, GPV reached 486 Million SEK (€ 49,6 Million) in sales.
During 2009, the capacity increased by 50% to approximately 45MW/year and the plant currently has 65 employees.
GPV produces & and markets so-called Polycrystalline & Mono Crystalline PhotoVoltaic Solar Power Modules.
The company, situated in Gällivare (Lapland, Sweden), is a highly automated & top modern 2-½ production-line-plant.
During the production process, GPV only uses high quality raw materials coming from leading suppliers. Depending on the size of each solar module, every module consists of 36 to 72 so-called multi-crystalline or mono-crystalline cells.
The cells are encased in high transmission low-iron tempered glass, multi-layers of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as well as Tedlar film.
This provides the solar modules with top-quality protection against external environmental effects, including “shading”.
During the production process, the modules pass several quality control checkpoints and they are carefully checked and tested prior to delivery. The final test takes place in a solar simulator, where the modules are tested under Standard Test Conditions (STC 1000W/m²). For quality and efficiency reasons, every modules serial number, as well as all test data, are stored in a separate database.
GPV guarantees 80% power during 25 years.Premium Quality and Certifications
