Nanosolar is the industry's best-funded private manufacturer of solar electricity cells and modules. The company is known for its breakthrough capability of simply being able to print a solar cell based on CIGS, the intrinsically most stable and efficient thin-film semiconductor. The result are cells that can be produced with unprecedented throughput and cost efficiency.
The Nanosolar Utility Panel™ was designed in close collaboration with Beck Energy and includes a number of features that set the standard for module technology for utility-scale deployments:
- Rated at 160-220W, the Nanosolar Utility Panel™ is a high-power panel with approximately three times the power per panel relative to conventional thin-film panels.
- By using high-strength glass in the back and the front, it is intrinsically much more mechanical stable than conventional solar panels. Paired with the panel’s superior ruggedness comes a 70% larger spanning distance between mounting rails which saves Balance-of-System costs, relative to conventional thin-film panels.
- As a high-current module certified for an industry-first 1500VDC system voltage, it affords a panel array length of 64m – or more than five times longer than conventional panels, simplifying and accelerating system cabling.
Designed in California, the Nanosolar Utility Panel™ is Made in Germany in a fully-automated robotic factory near Berlin.
Engineered for >25-year reliability, the Nanosolar Utility Panel™ has met stringent suites of reliability tests. These include all applicable international standards as well as internal material, component, and panel tests substantially exceeding these. The Nanosolar Utility Panel™ is compliant with IEC 61646 and IEC 61730 and comes with a 20-year manufacturer warranty.
