Print2Power™

By Nanosolar

Nanosolar’s new proprietary, next-generation CIGS technology platform, Print2Power™, enables our technology roadmap to increase power conversion efficiencies to 16 percent and beyond eventually matching if not potentially surpassing current c-Si efficiency rates, while reducing total costs and enabling new applications. Print2Power™ delivers further optimization of our manufacturing flow to reduce the Costs of Goods Sold (COGS) of our PV cells at new performance points – for example, energy yields and temperature coefficients—that will enable new competitively priced products for innovative applications and market opportunities.

Fabric Integrated Photovoltaics (FIPV)

If you need to (or just like to) work outdoors, getting electricity onsite is a challenge. Basically, you can either run a generator at high diesel costs, obnoxious noise levels and fumes or go without. With the increasing demand for electricity off-grid, going without is no longer viable. Nanosolar’s lightweight, unique Print2Power platform enables a better option: Fabric Integrated Photovoltaics (FIPV). Fabric enables portable, on-demand green energy generation. The systems are light weight and portable and there is no noise or pollution to worry about. Nanosolar’s FIPV solutions are easy to use alternatives to diesel generators, sparing the air…and the ear. Customized applications include: Recreational Vehicles; Camping; Emergency Response Tenting; Recreational Tenting, Tarps, Awnings, Umbrellas; Shade Covers for FEMA Trailers and Containerized Living Units; Shade Covers Customized to User Needs. Nanosolar is one of the first, and few, companies in the world capable of producing top-quality FIPV products. FIPV products are produced by safely sewing, sealing or using velcro to “sandwich” lightweight panels between sheets of fabric. Fabric-integrated technologies have long been among the top three consumer product requests Nanosolar receives, and we are excited to work with our global partners and customers to provide reliable and attractive shading and tenting alternative in this important product class.
