Alpha Assembly Solutions to Present PV Product Technologies at Intersolar Europe
June 2, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions, the world leader in the development of non-hazardous solder and electronic assembly materials for photovoltaic manufacturing and assembly, plans to showcase their vast product offering at the Intersolar Europe show taking place June 22 – 24 in Munich, Germany.
As the installation of solar panels continues to expand and early modules begin to be replaced, the industry is estimating growing volumes of PV waste.
“Switching over to and incorporating non-hazardous, environmentally friendly manufacturing materials, such as lead-free soldering materials, in conjunction with and in advance of various legislative directives, will be more cost effective for manufacturers,” said Mike Murphy, Senior Global Product Manager, Solid Solder Alloys and PV Interconnect Materials. “This will also add incentive for expanding solar installations and be a better long-term strategy to ensure the environment is not harmed when these materials are disposed.”
During the exhibition, Alpha will also be featuring its vast PV product portfolio:
- ALPHA Sn/Pb & Pb-Free Solder Alloys
- ALPHA Liquid Soldering Fluxes for PV Tabbing & Stringing Applications
- ALPHA Telecore XL-825 Cored Solder Wire
- ALPHA PV Solder Paste
- ALPHA PV-Ready Exactalloy® Preforms
In addition, Narahari S. Pujari, Manager of New Business Development, will be participating in Poster Session (#5BV.1.38) entitled “Compatibility of PV Ribbons and Fluxes with EVA Encapsulant Films.”

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
