Mondragon Assembly, Solarge companion on new lightweight module production line

• Solar PV tools provider Mondragon Assembly is to supply an automatic manufacturing line to Dutch vendor Solarge.

The line has actually been developed ad-hoc and manufactured especially for Solarge's range of lightweight modules as well as is to be installed at Solarge's plant in Weert, the Netherlands, in Q3 this year.

Manufacturing at the 100MW line is anticipated to start before the end of this year.

Solarge's module range claims to be 100% recyclable and also is made without PFAS products that would certainly otherwise make them repellant to water, oil as well as dirt. Instead Solarge uses fibre-reinforced polymers which, the firm claims, conserves as much as 75% less carbon during the production procedure as well as generates modules that weigh as much as 75% less than conventional panels.

Solarge plans to increase manufacturing of the production line to 380MWp by 2024.
