Each
Uni-Power solar module utilizes United Solar’s proprietary Triple
Junction silicon solar cells. These cells are made in a roll-to-roll
deposition process on a continuous roll of stainless steel sheet metal.
The result is a unique, flexible, light- weight cell.
The
modules are exceptionally durable. They are encapsulated in UV stabilized
polymers and framed with anodized aluminum. A coated Galvalume steel back
plate provides stiffness.
Bypass
diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the modules to produce
power even when partially shaded. Each module has a weather proof junction
box designed to accept conduit. These modules are appropriate for all
applications from simple single module requirements to high voltage
grid-connected systems.
Triple
Junction Technology
The heart
of the new Uni-Power is the Triple Junction silicon solar cell unique to
United Solar. Each cell is composed of three semiconductor junctions
stacked on top of each other.
The bottom cell absorbs the red light; the middle cell absorbs the green
light, and the top absorbs the blue light. This spectrum-splitting
capability is the key to higher efficiency.
