- Technology
- Amorphous Silicon (a-Si)
Our proprietary thin-film amorphous silicon (a-Si) technology delivers lightweight, durable power generation for applications where traditional panels are not practical. Whether integrated into products, deployed in the field, or mounted indoors, thin-film a-Si provides consistent output in low-light and partially shaded conditions.
In space- and weight-constrained applications, thin-film panels provide predictable performance with minimal structural impact. Typical use cases include portable systems, embedded devices, and mission-critical deployments.
Advantages & Applications
Our thin-film amorphous silicon solar technology delivers reliable power where other panels can’t, combining ultra-thin design, rugged durability, and exceptional low-light performance.
-
Low-Light Performance: Generates usable energy indoors and in shaded environments.
-
Ultra-Thin Construction: Approximately 0.2 mm active layer for low-profile integration.
-
Rugged Flexibility: Designed to tolerate bending, vibration, and temperature variation.
-
Monolithic Design: Integrated electrical connections reduce failure points.
These advantages make our panels ideal for a range of demanding applications:
-
IoT & Embedded Systems: Supports sensors, asset tracking, and connected devices requiring long-duration supplemental power.
-
Portable & Field Systems: Suitable for defense, emergency response, outdoor equipment, and remote monitoring platforms.
How We Make It
We operate one of the world’s only roll-to-roll amorphous silicon manufacturing lines, producing continuous solar sheets up to 13 inches wide and over 2,400 feet long. Thin layers of a-Si are deposited onto a polyimide substrate approximately 0.025 mm thick, then laser-interconnected into a durable monolithic structure.
This proprietary process:
- Enables scalable, high-volume production
- Reduces material usage relative to conventional silicon panels
- Delivers a cadmium-free product
Power for Your Next Innovation
We customize encapsulation and substrate integration to meet application requirements, including bonding to fabrics, fiberglass, metals, and composite materials. Each solution is configured for structural compatibility and long-term durability.
Thin-film amorphous silicon technology supports OEM integration, portable field equipment, and embedded power systems where flexibility and weight reduction are critical.
