Solydra Range of solar solutions
New technologies are constantly being patented by the solar panel companies to keep ahead of the technology curve. A feat of innovation that earned the company a spot on MIT's list of the top 50 most innovative companies list and kept them at the front of the curve, is Solynda‘s solar panel tubes.
SOLYNDRA® Solar is one of the world's most advanced PV solar systems using CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) technology; these cells are known for their high degree of conversion efficiency. Roof space that can be used to generate clean, green energy for your building can be provided by the SOLYNDRA® Solar solution.
The cylindrical design of the Solyndra product offers proven dependability and high-quality execution. These unique cells consist of tubes that capture solar radiation across their entire surface and are capable of converting direct, diffused and reflected sunlight into electricity. Solyndra has the lowest system installation costs on a per watt basis for the commercial rooftop market. Fast installations mean less business disruption for the end customer as the rooftop work is completed rapidly. For installers, being able to finish more jobs promptly means more revenue during the best installation seasons.
The Solyndra panels can be mounted horizontally as the wind blow through them. There is no need for concern that the panels will transfer wind load to the roof or be blown off the roof. No roof penetrations, attachments or ballast are needed. Installations can be done quicker and more cost-effectively than conventional rooftop PV solar installations as panels and mounts are quickly attached together. There is also less opportunity for leaks on the rooftop and in some cases, a rooftop warranty can be kept that might otherwise be voided by penetrations.
More than 1000 Solyndra systems are installed around the world. The cylindrical panels can be situated virtually anyway around with hardly any impact in the energy they generate. This means that building contours and high system density on the rooftop can be followed by the Solyndra panels. The Solyndra system is tremendously lightweight and modules are spaced within the panel frame giving unique air flow properties. Often Solyndra is the only solar solution that works for installations such as older buildings and “value-engineered buildings” not designed to carry a heavy rooftop load.
The modules are designed to reliably produce power for more than 25 years in the harsh environment of the rooftop and to provide superior performance with soiling, wind and snow on rooftops around the world.
