NexTechFAS Expands Product Portfolio with Inspection and Deposition Tools for Exclusive Use in the Manufacture of Solar PanelsPresentations of the PVScan and PVAdvantage will be Available during SemiconWest 2008 in San Francisco from July 15 to July 18AUSTIN, Texas - Jul. 17, 2008 - NexTech Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NXSL) and FAS Holdings Group, LLC, jointly doing business as "NexTechFAS," are pleased to announce that the company has unveiled two new products for use in the manufacture of solar panels. The PVScan, an automated optical inspection (AOI) tool, and the PVAdvantage, an extrusion deposition (ED) tool, offer manufacturers unique technologies that can drastically decrease the costs and improve production yields in the manufacturing process of photovoltaic (solar) products. NexTechFAS' PVScan is an AOI system designed specifically for solar panel defect inspection. The PVScan is the result of many years of engineering study related to the various defects specific to photovoltaic substrates. The PVScan offers outstanding performance in solar panel pattern, particle and overall process defect detection. NexTechFAS' imaging, illumination and image processing technology facilitates the identification of the widest spectrum of solar panel defect types. Being able to detect defects during the production process of PV modules and correcting these defects in a timely manner not only improves production yields but significantly reduces the overall cost by identifying certain problems early in the process. The PVAdvantage utilizes high-performance extrusion-type deposition (ED) of photovoltaic materials, including deposition of organic or inorganic solution based materials. It is available for material deposition on a variety of flexible or rigid panel sizes, from G2 to G8. The PVAdvantage serves as an extremely cost-effective solution by maximizing the deposition of material utilization without the waste associated with alternative methods. This efficient use of materials not only minimizes harm done to the environment through its containment of hazardous waste but also minimizes expensive disposal costs necessary with traditional coating techniques. "By combining our enabling technologies (AOI and coating) we continue to leverage the advantages of our recent merger and are now able to expand rapidly into emerging markets, such as solar," stated Tony Di Napoli, CEO of NexTechFAS.
