128/121/115 Watt Thin Film Module

Thin Film Photovoltaics: The Next Evolution of Solar Technology


Sharp’s thin film product pairs amorphous silicon with a layer of microcrystalline silicon to achieve high stability and performance.   Produced with less than one percent of the silicon used in crystalline solar cells, thin film products offer high performance with less semiconductor material.  With a low temperature coefficient for output power, thin film generates greater energy than its crystalline silicon counterpart in geographic regions where temperatures are high.  In warm climates, this translates into more kilowatt-hours per kilowatt.

  • Engineering Excellence
    Tandem-junction structure (amorphous silicon/microcrystalline silicon) captures a wider part of the solar spectrum, converting more sunlight into electricity.
  • High Voltage Advantage
    Proprietary design increases reliability by minimizing losses caused by module output variation.
  • Reliability
    Microcrystalline layer provides superior long-term stability and higher module efficiency.
  • Durable
    Four bypass diodes ensure maximum output under non-uniform operating conditions.
  • Innovative
    Single-layer glass with polymeric backskin lowers pounds per watt and transportation costs. Modules are sized to optimize the greatest amount of power, easily handled by one person.
