Introducing PTIP Innovations
As part of our strategy for this year, we will be profiling our winners from 2014 and are pleased to introduce PTIP who were awarded the Management of System award In 2014.
The company PTIP Innovations, 2014 TT100 winner of the award for the Management of Systems in the medium size category was founded in 2005 and is headed up by Professor Vivian Alberts. It is involved in the research, development and production of thin film PV modules and systems.
It was founded to facilitate the commercial exploitation of intellectual property (IP) and know-how related to novel and innovative semiconductor process technologies in the field of thin film photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The new and improved PV technology has been developed over a period of more than 20 years at the Department of Physics at the University of Johannesburg. The key strategic objective of the company is the world-wide licensing of turnkey PV plants and related products. Furthermore, the company also aims to facilitate the development of a highly trained and professional PV workforce in South Africa that will form a basis for the establishment of a competitive local PV industry.
The TT100 adjudicators awarded the Management of System award to this innovative company with this accompanying comment: “From a small university laboratory size breakthrough to a full-size pilot plant, this company is now a recognised global leader in solar voltaic technology. Together with local and global partners, they have been able to develop a fully integrated manufacturing process in which the full process from raw materials to final solar panels and waste removal have been integrated. The elegance of their process includes the downstream application of their products, which includes solar farms, roof top systems and a unique application for off-grid electrical energy supply and reticulation. This is systems thinking at its best. “
