Our Products
The ARTisun® solar cells that Suniva manufactures in the United States are made of polysilicon (click to read why crystalline silicon or cSi is the most efficient and reliable choice) which is created by refining sand or quartz, one of the most abundant materials on earth. After being refined and "grown" into extremely pure monocrystalline ingots, the ingots are carefully sliced into very thin wafers.
The monocrystalline wafers then undergo processing steps which apply an electric field to them, a metal grid or pattern of electrodes is affixed, and both an aluminum backing and a surface antireflective layer are applied. Suniva utilizes a number of patents and proprietary knowledge and technologies in these processing steps which yield very high cell efficiency at low cost and when combined with the ability to use thinner wafers results in industry leading cost per watt levels. (Efficiency refers to the net percentage of energy from solar radiation that the cell converts to electricity). These Suniva monocrystalline silicon cells are marketed as the ARTisun® series.
Suniva's high-powered modules consist of ARTisun® series solar cells and contain over 85% U.S. content. Using a high-powered module enables you to generate more power with fewer panels, resulting in lower costs.
