Solar technology has been utilized for over 30 years! Silicon Solar has introduced new ways to incorporate these technologies into everyday practical applications. Find below a brief overview of the core technologies which we utilize across our diverse network of products.
Solar Electric Technology: (Photovoltaic)
Silicon Solar incorporates the latest in commercial solar electric technology including both thin-film and mono-crystalline solar cell types. Using the power of the sun, these core technologies supply the power required to light up everything from small landscape lights to large billboard lighting systems.
Example of this technology includes integration into solar battery chargers, water fountains and landscape lights. The technology is also incorporated in its basic form for solar panels for use in providing power for commercial and residential grid-tie and off grid solar electric systems. Combined with solar energy incentives and applications which require solar technology, photovoltaics have become a stable investment in the alternative energy industry. For more information on incentives and residential / commercial systems, please contact our sales department.
Core Technology:
Crystalline solar cells have been utilized in the commercial industry for the longest period of time and manufacturing through an expensive ingot growing process. As technologies have evolved and additional demand has attracted capital investment into the renewable energy industry, thin-film solar cells and string ribbon cells have been utilized to decrease the cost of manufacturing and overall price per watt. Amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) are typically materials used in manufacturing these low cost alternatives to crystalline based solar cells. Silicon Solar utilizes different technologies in our integrated products depending on the products application and economic feasibility analysis.
Solar Thermal Technology (Hot Water)
Our SunMaxx solar thermal division utilizes evacuated tube collectors to ensure years of longevity and maximum efficiency. Unlike conventional electric modules, solar thermal collectors simply convert light into infrared energy (heat energy). Efficiency levels reach levels as high as 75%, which proves to be economically when utilized in commercial and residential solar hot water systems. Additional information on solar hot water incentives and payback periods can be viewed by visiting SunMaxx solar.
Applications include both providing heat and domestic hot water to your home in addition to several commercial applications. Silicon Solar offers a complete selection of pre-packaged solar hot water systems for residential & commercial use. Solar thermal systems can be easily integrated into both new and existing construction with economically viable payback periods.
Core Technology:
Evacuated tube technology combined with proprietary selective absorption surfaces enables for SunMaxx to maintain industry leading performance ratings. Other technologies include flat plate, unglazed & concentrator solar hot water collectors. We recommend utilizing different technologies depending on the desired application and target temperatures. For additional information of system sizing, please contact a certified SunMaxx sales technician or installer.
