Chad Industries Signs Agreement With AOPT To Offer Solar Test Systems

Published: 12-Mar-2010

Chad Industries and Alpha Omega Power Technologies (AOPT) have agreed to co-market their products for the solar manufacturing market for photovoltaic (PV) and concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) products. The agreement is intended to benefit the market by making it easier to obtain integrated solar simulated test systems and solar cell sorters.

Chad Industries provides solar cell test and sort systems as well as other solar manufacturing automation equipment. AOPT provides solar simulators based on flashed Xenon lamp sources for individual cells and receivers, all the way up to complete modules, from one-sun to 2000-sun magnification requirements.

Scott Klimczak, president of Chad Industries, said: “Customers are looking for complete solutions. Teaming up with AOPT enables us to offer customers a turnkey test and sort system based on a very high quality solar simulator system. In addition, the variety of products offered by AOPT allows us to provide systems for high and low production environments, both for PV and CPV products.”

Ray Cravey, president of AOPT, said: “Our experience with pulsed solar simulators, CPV testers, and other test equipment allows us to address customers’ specific test requirements. Working together with Chad allows us to complement that by offering our customers the complete spectrum of integration, from a simple bench test system for product development to full scale automated production system.”

Albuquerque, New Mexico-based AOPT also provides other specialty high voltage pulse generation products and precision ion beam surface treatment systems, as well as engineering design services.
