crystalsol
crystalsol develops an entirely new type of flexible photovoltaic module with a significant cost advantage compared to all currently known photovoltaic technologies. The technology is the unique combination of decades of research for the Russian military and Philips semiconductor know-how from the 1960s. The key competitive advantages are
- Use of a unique semiconductor powder made of copper, zinc, and tin, avoiding the need for silicon, indium, or tellurium
- Simple and high speed roll-to-roll production process without upscaling issues
- Production of flexible modules, tailor made in size for applications in several market segments
The technology leads to cost reduction of 70-80% compared to current industry average. Considering the most aggressive projected price decline until 2013 this implies a future cost advantage of 20-30% achievable already at low scale production.
