BTU International Inc., a North Billerica-based photovoltaic manufacturing equipment maker, has landed $5.5 million in orders for solar processing equipment for the Asia/Pacific market.

The orders include equipment to make silicon solar cells, in addition to metallization system equipment.

In thin-film photovoltaics, BTU’s equipment is used for both the CIGS and the CdTe processes. Silicon photovoltaic applications are served by BTU’s Metallization Furnaces and In-Line Diffusion Systems.

In addition to its North Billerica location, the company maintains operations in Shanghai, China, as well.
