Product Enhancement and Order Update
Verditek plc, (AIM:VDTK), the international clean technology company that develops, manufactures and sells certified lightweight solar panels, wishes to update the market regarding its planned transition to manufacturing a second generation of its product offering.
By using the latest components available, the Company's first generation product has gradually been enhanced to increase the power output from 260 watts per panel to 288 watts and then to 300 watts. This is for a standard sized panel that comprises 60 photovoltaic cells. After several months of research, the Company is now embarking on the production of a more technically advanced panel that is expected to produce 350 watts per panel. These second generation panels are using far more efficient cells and, because both the power rating has gone up by more than 10% and certain other components are being used in the new panel, new certification is required. The new certification we are aiming for should also cover a wider range of tests and enable wider distribution in more international markets. This process which includes ISO9001 accreditation has recently commenced, and full certification is expected in the second half of the year.
The Company also wishes to update the market that the delivery of the Intergroup Mining order which was first announced on 24 September 2020 has been further delayed. This is due mainly to Covid related delays in delivery of specific components used to join the solar panels together as part of the Company's PowerMat offering. It is expected that this order will be shipped to Australia in the near future.
Rob Richards (Verditek CEO) commented: "We are extremely excited about the development of our second generation panel which we expect to be a world leading product. A full certification process has been commissioned to allow the production to be sold globally in on and off grid locations".
