United States developed a thin-film solar cell tape

First create a U.S. company "fast power light," developed a rollable solar panel manufacturing large-scale technology. The tape-style stainless steel sheet manufacturing technology can be formed in the amorphous silicon thin film solar cells. Each solar module is about 1 meter wide, 5.5 meters long.

Compared to traditional silicon solar panels the image of heavy and SN74AHCT1G08DCKR datasheet and hard, these lightweight panels can be curled easily integrated into roofs and SN74AHCT1G08DCKR price and facades of buildings can also be used outside the vehicle body. The solar panels more attractive than the traditional place that can more easily be embedded irregular design of the roof.

The companys founder and SN74AHCT1G08DCKR suppliers and president of Deng Ming Xun (phonetic) said: "They can even be rolled up with a backpack, so you can use it to your laptop charging."

Than conventional amorphous silicon thin film solar cells cheaper crystal, because it just part of the materials used, compared to crystalline solar cells 150-200 mm thick layer of silicon, its thickness of only 1 mm. However, its drawback is that efficiency is very low. In order to improve its efficiency, fast force energy companies created a tripartite structure of the battery, which consists of 3 different materials - amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon germanium and nanocrystalline silicon - is made of each material to be tuned to capture the energy of the different solar spectrum.

Although some of the market efficiency of crystalline silicon modules up to 20% or more, and fast power energy efficiency of photovoltaic modules that can be curled only 8%, but its advantage is the high-capacity tape-based technology. Tape and Reel technology allows it to reduce costs, expand the scope of application.

Far, fast force energy has been invested 4,000 million, December 2008, Ohio has given the company $ 7,000,000 in loans to accelerate the construction of a 25 megawatt solar module curl production line. The company is expected to be formally introduced to the market in 2010 and its products.
