engineering the solar age - Suppliers for Photovoltaics

With its machines, automation solutions and services for solar glass production and PV module encapsulation, LiSEC is a global partner for every demand

A full-range supplier for the flat glass industry

The LiSEC Group of Companies is a full-range supplier of integrated projects in the area of flat glass processing, insulating glass production, laminated glass production, tempering, solar glass manufacturing and PV module encapsulation. Originally a glass processing business, the company has expanded over decades to become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-tech production lines for the flat glass industry. In combination with the company’s extensive R&D experience and global consulting and service network, LiSEC’s 50 years of experience in the flat glass industry, engineering and insulating glass production, stand for high-tech know-how and the “Made in Austria” level of quality.

Solar glass processing plants

Thanks to 50 years of expert knowledge in the flat glass industry, LiSEC is also highly competent in high performance concepts for processing solar glass. The Austrian company is the only machine manufacturer in the world that develops revolutionary “flatbed” glass tempering plants, which can temper particularly thin glass down to only 1.9 mm thickness, in perfect plane quality, without any optical distortions. These plants are therefore pioneers for future possibilities in the solar glass field.

Glass-glass PV module encapsulation technology

With its complete assembling lines, including sealant applicators for diffusion-tight glass-glass solar modules with tempered thin glass as front and back sheets and an outstanding loading capacity, LiSEC’s technology is pointing the way ahead for the demands of tomorrow. This approach for highly efficient PV modules solves multiple problems observed with conventional backsheet-based PV module encapsulation methods and is a significant step forward for energy savings and grid parity. Furthermore, it opens the door to new frameless BiPV ideas, low-cost roofing applications for glass houses, green buildings, car ports and many other things. Quality control systems and perfectly adapted automation & software solutions complement LiSEC’s product range.
