About Solactron
Solactron, Inc. is a leading solar technology company based in the Silicon Valley that aims to deliver high performance monolithically integrated solar modules on glass substrates with highest efficiency and lowest cost at gigawatt scale, using our innovative Thin Film 2.0 technology.
Solactron’s proprietary and differentiated process solves key challenges facing typical Thin Film manufacturing processes, positioning Solactron to deliver solar solutions with a better bottom line. Our technology is based on a tunable compound chemistry, which allows for highest efficiency runway (>34%) by utilizing > 95% of the solar spectrum
With the world transitioning towards sustainable energy and with accelerating global public policy investment, Solactron is positioned to play a substantial role by building gigawatt-scale solar PV manufacturing capacity in the coming years – contributing to the elimination of gigatons of CO2 emissions while tapping into outsized return on investment.
Why solar?
Increasing global energy demand: General energy demand is skyrocketing, driven by increasing population and activity. The energy industry is shifting to renewables, and solar is at the helm of this shift. Solar continues to grow rapidly as it inevitably captures more of the multi-trillion dollar electricity generation market.
Environmentally-friendly: Climate change evidence is clear (more warming-related natural disasters, rising ocean levels and temperatures, and more). This is leading to a mass shift in energy investments and energy policy (e.g. 2015 Paris Climate Change Summit calls for significant reduction in CO2 gas emissions).
A primary future energy source: The energy industry is accelerating towards thin film PV, positioning solar to become a primary source for electricity generation. Among all thin-film commercially viable technologies, our Thin Film 2.0 technology is the best. Among Thin Film Solar PV companies, Solactron has the highest potential with its impactful technology.
OUR THIN FILM 2.0 TECHNOLOGY
Our Thin Film 2.0 technology positions Solactron to deliver the next generation of scalable solar PV solutions.
Thin Film solar cells, based on Chalcopyrite thin films, are the most efficient and highest performing, compared with other commercially viable thin film solar cells in the Solar PV market. However, because of complicated manufacturing processes, currently available Chalcopyrite Thin Film technologies are expensive and difficult to scale, which prevents them from capturing more market share. Our Thin Film 2.0 differentiated technology has numerous advantages as it overcomes key manufacturing challenges that prevented Solar PV based on Chalcopyrite Thin Films from capturing more market share.
Our proprietary process is simplified, controllable, scalable, and has high throughput and yield, solving key challenges and enabling Solactron to deliver solar PV solutions that outcompete other technologies on both performance and cost.
