United Solar Ovonic is the world leader in thin-film technologies. It's a company with years of experience in photovoltaics and is backed by a U.S. technology leader, Energy Conversion Devices, which holds 350 U.S. patents and 800 foreign patents. UNI-SOLAR technology has proven itself over decades under the most extreme conditions imaginable, including satellites, ocean buoys and military applications. They offer a proven product, a proven technology, from a proven company.
The foundation of all UNI-SOLAR products is their unique Triple Junction amorphous silicon solar cell. Amorphous construction allows lower costs, and a flexible substrata with DuPont Tefzel glazing creates a flexible, unbreakable product. Each cell is composed of three semiconductor junctions stacked on top of each other. Each layer is tuned for increased sensitivity to specific light frequencies. The bottom cell absorbs red light, the middle cell absorbs green light and the top cell absorbs blue light. This spectrum splitting capability delivers higher efficiency than any other amorphous silicon products.
