Sunflex is an agile, R&D focused group of industry-leading experts, scientists, and engineers pushing the boundaries of efficiency and innovation in silicon-based solar applications.
Value
By eliminating the need for substantial amounts of copper and silver used traditionally to interconnect back-contact cells, SunFlex provides a truly competitive solution for bringing IBC and MWT modules to market at the cost of today's lower-efficiency PERC panels.
Performance
SunFlex technology enables cost-effective solar modules at >22% efficiency, all while passing the toughest environmental and quality tests in the industry from the IEC 61215 standard to NREL's combined and accelerated stress testing (C-AST) program.
Enabling new pathways in the solar industry that were previously blocked by steep costs.
Our Sunfoil module technology interconnects back-contact cells with aluminum foil, enabling premium efficiency and durability.
Aluminum Foil
Low Cost Conductive Ductile
Embossing
No Paste No Solder No Worries
Laser Welding
Rapid Robust Versatile
Performance
A new gold standard in efficiency and reliability
Sunfoil modules with back-contact cells are >22% efficient and lose less than 2%of their initial power after 3000 hours of damp-heat exposure, 600 thermocycles, or 10 humidity-freeze cycles (3 times the IEC 61215 quality standard!)
From BIPV to VIPV, rigid modules to foldable and flexible- Sunfoil is the ideal solution across multiple industries and form factors.
Value
The module power of IBC at the cost of PERC
Sunfoil modules save cost by carrying the current in aluminum foil, connecting the foil to the cells with a proprietary laser-welding method that does not require electrically conductive adhesive, all while removing nearly 50% of the silver paste from the back-contact cells themselves for additional cost savings.
Range extension, auxiliary power, refrigerated transport and more—our technology enables integration of the highest efficiency solar cells for space-constrained applications like vehicle body panels.
Building Integrated
Architects and BIPV module designers can increase module power with aesthetically stunning IBC cells in custom form factors and layouts—enchancing any project.
Foldable & Flexible
Aluminum foil is lightweight and ductile, making it a phenomenal conductive hinge. Let us help you take your design to the next level with back-contact cells.
