U.S. start-up companies, “Li Xun light” to develop a large-scale manufacture of solar panels could be curled technology. This roll-to-roll (roll-to-roll) manufacturing technology in stainless steel sheet to form a thin film amorphous silicon solar cells. Solar modules each about 1 meter wide, 5.5 meters long.
Compared with traditional silicon solar panels the image of heavy and hard, the light weight of solar panels can be curled easily integrated into roofs and facades of buildings, vehicles can also be used for body. The solar panels than the traditional solar panels is more attractive and can more easily be embedded in the roof of irregular design.
The company’s founder and president of Deng Ming Xun (who) said: “They can even be rolled up with a backpack on, so that you can use it to recharge your laptop.
Amorphous silicon thin film solar cells of the lens than traditional batteries much cheaper, because it is only part of the use of materials, crystal solar cells as opposed to 150-200 mm thick layer of silicon, its thickness of only 1 mm. However, its drawback is that the efficiency is very low. In order to improve its efficiency, solar power company Xun created a triple structure of the battery, its from 3 different materials – amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon and germanium-based Nano-crystalline silicon – is made of each material to be tuned to capture the energy of the solar spectrum different.
Although some of the market efficiency of crystalline silicon modules, up to more than 20% of the fast solar power photovoltaic modules can crimp the efficiency of only about 8 percent, but its advantage lies in high-capacity tape technology. Roll-to-roll process can be to reduce costs and expand the scope of application.
So far, the fast solar power has received 40 million U.S. dollars of investment, in December 2008, Ohio also gives the company seven million U.S. dollars of loans to accelerate the construction of a 25-megawatt solar module production line curl. The company is expected to be officially in 2010 to market their products.
