Solaria employees in solar panel manufacturing facility

Our unique cell multiplication technology leverages semiconductor- and optics-industry expertise to multiply the energy yield of silicon material.

Using a proprietary singulation and packaging process, we deliver the high-efficiency, improved system performance, and kWh cost reduction crucial to market growth.

Solaria’s technology employs only proven materials that are standard in the solar industry today, but brings the cost down by delivering the same performance using less silicon.

Our Manufacturing Process

We start with standard crystalline silicon solar cells. Using advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, the cells are singulated into strips, packaged, and attached to an optical front cover.

 



Patent Position
Solaria has 30 granted patents and over 60 patents pending in North America, Europe and Asia.
NREL
Solaria was awarded a grant from the National Renewable Energy Laboratories to support development of a low concentration module.
Certification
Solaria modules have UL 1703, IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certification.
Cell construction of Solaria solar cell


Today, Solaria’s module employs 2X concentration which enables a 50% reduction in the amount of silicon cell material needed compared to standard PV modules. In the future, Solaria plans to develop a module featuring a 3X lens, which will reduces silicon cell material 67% compared to standard PV modules and further improve the value for customers.
