Superior modules from breakthrough technology

NovaSolar, inheriting the benefits of over $340 million investment by OptiSolar possesses the world's most advanced a-Si thin film technology. We produce superior a-Si thin film modules that have a unique and innovative construction and packaging that delivers industry leading reliability and cost advantages:

  • SINGLE sheet of TEMPERED glass
  • NO frame
  • NO EVA lamination
  • All aluminum to aluminum interconnects
  • Highly corrosion resistant hermetic seal on the back side of the glass and around its edges
  • Strong and durable polymer back coat for mechanical and dielectric protection



These unique constructs yield multiple benefits, in addition to the apparent advantage of lowering the cost of the module:

  • Highest reliability
     seen in the industry, evidenced by zero degradation in the required, industry-standard accelerated environmental stress tests (Temperature Cycling, Damp Heat, Humidity Freeze) that predict 25+ years reliability


  • Lightest weight
     per module in the industry (8 & 12 lbs), with optimal size for easy shipping, handling, and installation—without the need for heavy equipment and skilled labor


  • Strong and durable
     with wind gust resistance of 135mph for our standard design, and up to 160 mph for areas prone to typhoon or hurricane




  • Ideal for multiple BIPV and parking lot applications,
     due to the strength and durability of tempered glass, coupled with thinness, light weight, greatest reliability and aesthetics
