Malaysian BIPV Client Adopts Ooitech Production Equipment for Solar Module Manufacturing
A Malaysian building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) manufacturer has officially commissioned a new solar module production line using equipment supplied by Ooitech. The project marks another milestone in Southeast Asia's growing BIPV sector, where demand for architecturally integrated solar solutions continues to rise across commercial and residential developments.
Project Details
The client selected a full suite of Ooitech machinery to support customized BIPV module production, covering cell stringing, layup, lamination, framing, and electrical testing stages. The line is configured to handle various cell technologies including MBB, PERC, and TOPCon, giving the manufacturer flexibility to produce glass-glass and color-customized modules suited for facades, skylights, and curtain walls.
Equipment Scope
| Equipment | Function |
|---|---|
| Tabber Stringer | Cell interconnection |
| Layup Machine | Module stacking |
| Laminator | Encapsulation process |
| EL Tester | Defect inspection |
| Sun Simulator | Power output testing |
Market Significance
Malaysia's push toward green building certification and renewable energy targets has accelerated local investment in BIPV manufacturing. According to the client, the decision to partner with Ooitech was based on the supplier's proven experience in delivering customized production lines, technical training, and after-sales support tailored to BIPV requirements.
Outlook
The Malaysian facility is expected to begin commercial production in the coming months, targeting both domestic construction projects and export markets across ASEAN. Industry observers see the launch as a signal of broader momentum for BIPV adoption in tropical climates, where integrated solar solutions offer dual benefits of power generation and building aesthetics.
