1. INTRODUCTION
HelioSphera S.A. (HS) thin-film PV modules
(Micromorph™ technology) are distinguished
in the marketplace by their efficacy in numerous applications, superior longevity and maximum
efficiency.
Micromorph
™ solar cell has a dual structure with an amorphous and microcrystalline
silicon layer. The amorphous layer is sensitive to the visible range of the solar radiation, while
the microcrystalline layer converts the infrared part of the spectrum into electricity which results
to an excellent performance in comparison with other solar cell technologies.
HS modules have unique design properties - such as a higher energy yield in low-light
conditions, a lower vulnerability to deviations of azimuth and tilt angles, and an improved
temperature coefficient which make them suitable for use both in optimal and in traditionally
non-optimal conditions.
These advantages also improve performance on partially shaded surfaces, resulting in
higher output using the lower cost production methods of thin-film modules. In crystalline solar
cells the light energy is absorbed within a thin surface la
yer (~10 μm) while using a total
thickness of approximately 180 μm of material. The Micromorph™ technology needs only 3 μm
to absorb a similar amount of light energy with no other silicon required. The costly cutting of the
relatively thick crystalline silicon blocks is eliminated, as micromorph silicon is deposited directly
onto the glass surface.
