When people hear "Solar module", they often think of crystalline solar panels, but Kaneka's advanced thin-film modules are unique compared to traditional crystalline products. The cell structure is less susceptible to shadow and it offers greater design flexibility for a variety of applications. The color integrates easily into most exterior designs and it has a shorter energy payback time which provides production and resource savings.
1. To create higher energy production
2. Thin-film silicon Cell shape is shadow tolerant
3. Thin-film silicon are ideal for low angle installations
Kaneka offers not only amorphous silicon thin-film solar modules,but also the new structure solar module.
Kaneka's solar panel has a tandem structure.
Its dual-layer structure of microcrystalline and amorphous silicon can capture from short to long wavelengths of the light spectrum, allowing this panel to convert even more sunlight into electricity.
Unlike traditional crystalline panels, the thin-film silicon cells allow it to perform even if part of the panel is shaded*.
*The cell configuration allows it to prevent power output deterioration under shadow dropped conditions like picture below.
Due to the design of the thin-film silicon module, it is shadow tolerant.
Modules can be installed close to each other and in low angles allowing more roof coverage.
