SoloPanel SFX1-i3 Series
Features the photovoltaic solar cell that changes the energy equation
SoloPower’s next‐generation CIGS technology and innovative thin‐film manufacturing techniques enable mass production of high‐efficiency solar cells at a fraction of the cost of fabricating traditional silicon‐based cells. The SoloPanel SFX1‐Series converts sunlight into solar energy with higher power density than competing thin film technologies. The company’s unique manufacturing process combines a capital‐efficient and scalable production capacity with a commitment to environmental vigilance. And SoloPower’s breakthrough electroplated flexible CIGS photovoltaic cell brings to life the dream of almost endlessly replenishable solar energy in the form of light‐weight flexible modules. The flexible approach to renewable energy Our proprietary electrodeposition manufacturing system utilizes a low cost, roll‐to‐roll process with very thin films. This enables us to produce very thin, flexible solar cells, substantially shrinking our environmental footprint. Because our solar cells and panels are designed and manufactured to generate clean electricity for over 25 years, they will help the world’s population avoid decades of continued dependence on fossil fuels, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that can cause catastrophic climate change. www.solopower.com Designed and manufactured in California
