NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 06/23/15 — Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. (“Aurora”) (TSX VENTURE: ACU), a leader in inline measurement and control technology for the photovoltaic manufacturing industry, is pleased to provide a technology update and announce the allowance of new patent protection in three key markets.
Significant highlights include:
“Aurora–s Decima measurement systems have processed millions of solar cell wafers in industrial production lines worldwide. In the past nine months, using this experience and in response to practical industrial needs and demand, we have significantly advanced our technology and intellectual property position,” said Gordon Deans, Aurora–s Chief Technology Officer. “Our products are robust, accurate and easy to use in day-to-day industrial applications. Consequently, they are increasingly recognized by customers and partners as a superior solution to their needs.”
Besides volume production measurements, Aurora has evaluated thousands of wafers from manufacturers and diffusion equipment providers who have expressed interest in the use of Aurora–s products. One Chinese manufacturer alone sent 1300 wafers to Aurora to evaluate across furnaces supplied from European and Chinese suppliers. Wafers evaluated by the Decima range from standard commercial p-type multicrystalline units to high-efficiency designs including bifacial, p-type and n-type monocrystalline and PERC. The Decima has successfully measured critical-to-quality properties in all of these designs. Furthermore, these wafers were produced by a variety of diffusion/annealing furnaces from leading industry suppliers in Europe, China and Japan.
Aurora–s Veritas and Decima technology is installed and in use for industrial production and process optimization in multiple locations in Asia and Europe.
