Ulbrich Solar Technologies, Inc. products

Solar Cell Tabbing or Interconnect Wire are primarily produced from a tin or tin alloy coated copper flat wire*.  Ulbrich has been producing conductive materials for the photovoltaic industry since 1992, accumulating years of expertise that is applied to each and every order.  A critical feature of Tabbing and Interconnect is lower yield strength and higher elongation.  Our standard ribbon is engineered softer than the inferior higher yield strength ribbon commonly produced.  Our XP Ribbon, capable of larger cross sections, transmits electricity even more efficiently.

LCR-SP is a higher efficiency grooved solar cell interconnect wire that replaces traditional flat ribbon used to connect solar cells together within a module.  It was developed to increase the efficiency of a solar module by reflecting more light back onto the surface of the cell.  This innovative grooved interconnect wire steers the reflected light back to the glass/air interface allowing total internal reflection back onto the cell surface.  Up to 80% of the incoming light that strikes the LCR-SP™ ribbon is recovered significantly higher than the 5% recovery of traditional solar cell tabbing and interconnect wire.

Ulbrich has extensive capabilities and scientific resources to achieve the optimum conductive solutions for thin film modules

Multi-Tabbing Wire is the newest development for the multiple Bus-bar technology. Over the years, UST has leveraged experiences in product development, manufacturing and marketing competences to engineer a solder coated copper round wire for cell interconnection. Ulbrich’s Multi-Tabbing Wire offers the same high quality and product performance standards you are familiar with from all our other products we supply to the PV Industry. Multi-Tabbing Wire is available in all common copper grades including high-purity oxygen-free copper.
