DEVELOPMENT
The main “Precizika Metrology” products are linear and
angular glass scale gratings, linear and rotary displacement
measuring encoders. Company represents worldwide known
companies and suppliers of measuring equipment, CNC
centers, executes their installation and services, trains the
users, upgrades used CMM and manual cutting machine-tools.
“Solet photovoltaic” modules are manufactured using the high
efficiency technology of polycrystalline and monocrystalline
silicon solar cells. Manufactured modules achieve 17-18%
efficiency and 235-250 W power per module.
"Solet Technics” provides all services related to solar power
installation and maintenance.
The main area of "Precizika-MET SC" activities - solar cell
manufacturing process technologies. Creation of “know how”
silicon plates manufacturing processes, using laser based
technology and replacement of expensive silver conductors to
copper conductors.
