Global Solar Energy introduces first thin-film Alternative for silicon module and BIPV manufacturing

11 June 2008 | Thin Film: News From Around The Web | Source: Businesswire
Global Solar Energy, a solar industry leader that manufactures highly-efficient thin-film solar cells for glass modules or flexible material products, today announced a major breakthrough for silicon module and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) manufacturers looking to quickly and efficiently incorporate thin-film technology into their manufacturing processes.  

Global Solar's new PowerFlex Solar Strings provide a pre-connected format to its Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) cells that makes it easy for product designers and module manufactures to quickly and easily benefit from the low cost, high efficiency and flexible nature of CIGS. Global Solar is introducing the PowerFlex Solar Strings at Intersolar in Munich, Germany, with product demonstrations available at the Company's booth in Hall B4, Stand 139.  

"Thin-film photovoltaics are gaining attention and market share," said Alfonso Velosa, research director at Gartner. "Roll-to-roll manufacturing processes, a method used by Global Solar Energy, have the potential to be a disruptive technology in the photovoltaic industry, helping to generate greater activity in BIPV application development."
