Facts about Silicon Solar and Durability

More than 90% of the world’s Silicon-based (Si) solar is manufactured by Chinese companies. And, there are several disadvantages with this type of solar technology. Si Solar cells are soldered, which causes many points of failure leading to fragile end-products that are easily damaged by hail, during installation and even the shipping process itself. On top of that, UV exposure causes degradation due to yellowing of the films inside the panel. And, most Si manufacturer warranties are difficult to enforce.

the Cdte difference

On the other hand, CdTe thin film solar panels offer many key benefits and provide up to 10% more power output over a lifetime than Si based panels. They feature an all black, all glass design and utilize the entire visible light spectrum. CdTe panels perform better than Si panels in warm and hot climates, and outperform Si panels in shaded and cloudy environments. CdTe solar panels are also the most industry and academically tested technology and the most durable solar technology on the market. Several other key benefits include:

Lowest cost to manufacture
Fastest energy payback
Lowest carbon footprint
