Terra Solar Global makes photovoltaic thin-film modules with amorphous silicon cells. These amorphous silicon modules are cost-effective, when compared to crystalline cells. The TS40 solar module, offered by the company, has a rated power of 40 watts. The company manufactures this solar module by using the method of glass to glass encapsulation. This method gives the module long durability and strength.
TS40 Amorphous Silicon Thin-Film Module
The TS40 thin-film module has ‘U’ channel mounting rails made of aluminum at the back to make the installation easy. The rails also provide optimum resistance to wind. This PV module, available from Terra Solar Global, is not provided with frames. However, frames can be included on demand. With the hermetically sealed leads, the TS40 solar module is suitable for a wide range of applications such as grid-tied and remote residential system, telecommunications, utility-scale power projects, BIPV systems, water pumping and commercial or industrial power application.
The TS40 amorphous silicon module occupies 0.79 square meter area. This solar module measures 635 x 1245mm, and weighs 13.5kg. The open circuit voltage of this photovoltaic module is 62.2V, while the short circuit current is 1150mA. This solar module, offered by Terra Solar Global, gives 44.8V of voltage and 900mA of current. For building integrated photovoltaic application, the TS40 thin-film module can be customized for color and size, according to the requirements.
