Photovoltaic panel plastic film manufacturer

How are thin film PV panels made?

Our thin film PV panels are manufactured using cutting-edge CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide) with patented monolithic integration. Our patent-protected processes enable us to precisely apply layers of these elements on a thin (25micron) polyamide substrate to create resilient and featherweight panels that convert sunlight into electric power.

Is PowerFilm a US based solar company?

Celebrating over thirty years in business, PowerFilm is proud to be one of the few US-based solar manufacturing companies operating today. The Soltronix brand brings PowerFilm expertise, innovation, and commitment to US-based semi-flexible crystalline silicon solutions.

What is ASCA ® organic photovoltaic (OPV) film?

As a result of many years of research and development, the ASCA ® organic photovoltaic (OPV) film is a breakthrough solar solution for the energy transition challenge. The unique properties of this environmentally friendly, custom-made solution is capable of making virtually any surface active, regardless of its shape or material.

Who is PowerFilm?

PowerFilm designs and manufactures custom solar cells, panels, and power solutions for energy harvesting, portable, and remote power applications using proprietary thin-film or high-efficiency crystalline PV technology. We develop high-quality custom solar solutions for IoT, transportation, military, and consumer applications.

What makes PowerFilm solar panels different from traditional solar panels?

Flexible yet durable polyimide substrate enhances flexibility, paper thinness, and lighter weight. The substrate is as thin as 1mil (0.025mm) thick. Amorphous silicon is the absorber layer in the solar panels. The amount of silicon used in PowerFilm solar panels is as low as 1 percent of the amount used in traditional solar panels.

Are PowerFilm solar panels cadmium free?

The amount of silicon used in PowerFilm solar panels is as low as 1 percent of the amount used in traditional solar panels. PowerFilm has a strong environmental profile and is cadmium free. Single and tandem junction devices are manufactured. Finished panels are encapsulated in materials appropriate for the application environment.
