String-ribbon

Effective string-ribbon manufacturing technology combines conventional crystalline silicon and emerging thin films. Two high-temperature strings pull vertically through a shallow silicon melt. The molten silicon continuously spans and freezes between the strings. Long strings unwind from spools, the melt is replenished, and silicon ribbon is cut to length for further processing without interrupting growth. This process contributes to a double yield over conventional construction of solar cells per pound of silicon. String-ribbon yields over twice as many solar cells per pound of silicon as conventional methods, leading the industry in material efficiency. It achieves the reliability and efficacy of crystalline silicon without the inherent cost and waste of sawing ingots into wafers. The proprietary cell fabrication process is among the most environmentally friendly in the business.

A properly designed photovoltaic system can supply electricity for many applications, from small, remote lighting and appliance needs to megawatts of power for large utility companies. Photovoltaic systems can power anything a traditional generator powers, only without consuming fossil fuels or engaging loud motors.

Other advantages of utilizing solar power products include tax incentives, long-term energy cost reduction of solar technology, and energy subsidizing, which provides varying degrees of financial tax credits for system energy production.
