Our
planned thin film solar manufacturing plant in Florida is planned to
meet a demand for solar cells which is expected to continue for the
next several years as the major and emerging economies struggle to
develop alternative renewable power sources .
Thin
Film technology is easy to manufacture, because the process is
simple, the materials are cheaper and easier to obtain.
Thin
Film solar cells are very competitive in terms of cost per watt.
Recently with advent of manufacturing equipment which require an
almost clean room as opposed to a clean room, it is possible to
produce thin film cells at a cost lower than other kinds of solar
cells.
Amorphous
Silicon Thin Film Cells
Thin
Film solar have favorable KWh/Kwp ratios and low cost per watt.
