As part of the company’s evolution from respected solar engineering powerhouse to one of the fastest growing EnTech companies in the country, SunLink Corporation has engaged Heritage Bank of Commerce to provide an expanded line of credit and other financial services in support of continued expansion.

The commercial storage system manufacturer Tesvolt collaborated with Samsung SDI to develop a high-voltage storage system which is setting new standards for safety and also boasts a 30 year lifespan. The battery contains Samsung SDI’s new prismatic lithium cells, which BMW recently introduced into their electric cars, thereby almost doubling their range. Each cell is monitored individually to ensure the maximum level of safety. A new cell balancing concept, which for the first time optimises the charging currents not only between the cells within each battery module, but also between the battery modules, contributes to the long service life. Tesvolt will present the new storage system at the Energy Storage Europe trade fair in Düsseldorf from 14–16 March 2017.

Engineered Material Systems, Inc. (EMS), a leading global supplier of conductive interconnect materials for photovoltaic applications, announces the introduction of its new CA-150 Series Snap Cure, Low Cost Conductive Adhesive for stringing and shingling crystalline silicon and Heterojunction solar modules. The new conductive adhesive will be displayed in Hall W3, booths 806/807 at the SNEC PV Power Expo, scheduled to take place April 19-21, 2017 in Shanghai, China.

EDF Energies Nouvelles, a subsidiary of the EDF Group, is highlighting the growth of its operations in France.
