The carbon nanotube photovoltaic module frame, co-developed by Suntech and TCNT using high-strength carbon and glass fiber composite materials weighs half that of the traditionally-used aluminum module frames. In addition, the new module frame possesses unique properties, such as flexural strength measuring 339MPa.
..."Mr. Xiong Haibo, President of Wuxi Suntech said, "together with TCNT, we have successfully developed a new type of carbon nanotube photovoltaic module frame -- a revolutionary innovation from traditional metal frame modules. The research and development of these modules required us to overcome significant technical challenges, but through the integrated partnership of the two teams, we developed this breakthrough product. We are very pleased to be able to provide customers lightweight, cost-effective photovoltaic modules with greater reliability and no PID problems, once again fully reflecting Wuxi Suntech's competitiveness in core innovation as well as market demand-oriented business strategy."...
