HelioVolt thin film photovoltaics

May 8th, 2008 — Uncategorized

HelioVolt makes thin film photovoltaics that can be embedded into construction materials, effectively turning a roof or siding of a building into giant solar panels. The key here is that it’s unobtrusive (no giant panel arrays), has a long lifespan, and uses indium instead of silicon (challenged by high demand and dwindling supplies).

HelioVolt has developed the fastest and most effective way to manufacture CIGS (Copper Indium Galluium Selenide), the most reliable and best-performing thin film material for generating electricity from sunlight. HelioVolt’s FASST™ technology can apply efficient CIGS coatings in custom shapes, sizes, and tints to create power generating glass, steel, metal and polymers, making possible a new generation of solar power modules and photovoltaic construction materials.
