Global
Solar Energy, a manufacturer of thin-film solar cells for glass
modules or flexible material products, today announced a breakthrough
for silicon module and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
manufacturers looking to quickly and efficiently incorporate thin-film
technology into their manufacturing processes.
Global
Solar’s new PowerFlex Solar Strings provide a pre-connected format
to its Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) cells that makes
it easy for product designers and module manufactures to quickly
and easily benefit from the low cost, high efficiency and flexible
nature of CIGS.
Global
Solar is introducing the PowerFlex Solar Strings at Intersolar
in Munich, Germany, with product demonstrations available at the
Company’s booth in Hall B4, Stand 139.
“Thin-film
photovoltaics are gaining attention and market share,” said Alfonso
Velosa, research director at Gartner. “Roll-to-roll manufacturing
processes, a method used by Global Solar Energy, have the potential
to be a disruptive technology in the photovoltaic industry, helping
to generate greater activity in BIPV application development.”
“As
more companies enter the thin-film market, the technology will
continue to create new innovations and possibilities for solar
energy’s future,” said Mike Gering, president and CEO of Global
Solar.
He
added, “Our PowerFlex Solar Strings help harness this potential,
driving thin-film adoption by delivering the only drop-in offering
that makes the technology accessible to any interested original
equipment manufacturer. Global Solar is dedicated to helping expand
the thin-film marketplace, growth which is essential if BIPV products
and the future of green buildings are to become a cost-effective
and realistic option.”
Global
Solar is able to deliver its PowerFlex Solar Strings due to the
Company’s “roll-to-roll” manufacturing process, which is not only
significantly more cost-effective than traditional in-line manufacturing
approaches but also creates a flexible, resilient product that
can be adapted for multiple applications.
