Photon Energy Systems is
committed to a renewable energy world.
Our flagship products are based on ultra thin single crystal silicon
photovoltaic devices, using a novel process that radically reduces the
amount of silicon needed. As a result, both the processing and raw
materials costs of our products enable manufacturing costs below
$1/watt in high volume. Systems based on PES modules enable power delivery
at costs below fossil fuel generation rates.
Photon Energy Systems PV module technology has 5 major advantages:
1) Lowest cost/watt
of any PV technology.
2) 5X reduction in
silicon used
- the major cost in modules is the silicon - this reduces the cost by a
factor of 5X.
3) 20X reduction in cell processing
resources. This allows processing equipment to have much
greater throughput and reduces cell costs.
4) Longest
lifetimes of all PV technologies . We
use tried and proven mono-crystalline silicon and PV pastes, products
that have
been used and proven reliable for many years, and the same lamination
processes
used by the majority of the industry. These have demonstrated very long
lifetimes (average of 0.3% per year degradation). These translate to
94% of
starting power after 25 years.
5)All rear contact technology
- Increases efficiency by 5-10% over conventional front contact cells.
