About flexible amorphous silicon cell technology
The flexible amorphous silicon used in our solar-chip technology is a three layer composite technology. It utilises a sandwich structure design that is specially layered to absorb sunlight in the red, blue and green spectrum – thereby overcoming the weakness of single polycrystalline silicon which only absorbs sunlight in the form of low frequency spectrum (red) light waves.
Our patented polymer battery technology was designed to resolve the existing problem of aging that was common in traditional amorphous silicon, so that the solar panels would last far longer - for up to 15-20 years.
The surface is treated to substantially reduce the secular reflection of light, and allows the panels to fully absorb sunlight. With a combination of solar energy chips, fabric and EVA, the product is only 1/10 of the weight of traditional glass solar panels.
Choosing a solar panel
Appliance | Watts/Hour | Daily usage period | Daily power consumption |
40 Litre Fridge | 18W | 24 hours | 430W |
LED Lamp | 5W | 3 hours | 15W |
Mobile Phone | 5W | 1 hour | 5W |
Tablet | 10W | 2 hours | 20W |
Laptop | 36W | 2 hours | 72W |
Television | 18W | 2 hours | 36W |
Cordless Drill | 55W | 1 hour | 110W |
Digital Camera charger | 6W | 2 hours | 12W |
Watts generated per day | Amps generated per day | Time required to recharge a 120A battery | Length of time you can run a 40L fridge with a 120A battery | |
30W | 192W | 13A | 59 hours | 7 days |
60W | 403W | 27A | 28 hours | continuous |
120W | 768W | 54A | 14 hours | continuous |
NB: All figures assume average sunshine levels of 8 hours each day. Figures are a guide only & based on folding amorphous panels. Solar panels, battery and appliances are based on average figures which can be affected by solar panel placement & weather conditions.
Calculate your total estimated daily power consumption and choose the Solar Panel (from the table above) that will generate sufficient power (watts) for the appliances you wish to run on a daily basis.
