Kaneka decided to begin research into thin film silicon PV modules at an early stage. This has allowed the company to assume a leading position in the industry over the past 20 years.
Kaneka's accumulated expertise now makes it possible to offer next-generation energy all over the world through its advanced PV systems that empower individuals to take a proactive environmental role in their daily lives.
Kaneka's amorphous silicon PV module (a-Si) has superior light absorption per nominal watt power. Compared with mono-crystalline silicon PV modules (c-Si) or poly-crystalline silicon PV modules (poly-Si), it generates considerably more power per nominal watt power.
Kaneka modules come with a 5 year warranty on material defects and workmanship after shipment from Kaneka. The warranty period with respect to power output is 25-years after shipment from Kaneka at 80% of the specified minimum output of the module.
Basic Module Features are:
- Superior performance under high temperature conditions
- Better actual watt-power generation compared With crystalline silicon PV modules
- Ecologically friendly due to the use of less material and energy during production
- Shorter energy pay-back time
