SunPower Completes 1-Megawatt Solar Power System at Agilent Technologies Headquarters
Nov 19, 2009 – SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB), a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, announced the completion of a 1-megawatt solar power rooftop system on three buildings at Agilent’s headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. This is SunPower’s second project with Agilent, following the design and installation of a 1-megawatt solar tracking system at Agilent’s Santa Rosa, Calif., campus last year. Agilent expects to save $3.5 million in energy costs in the first 10 years of operation.
“Agilent is pleased to partner with SunPower on this second significant project, reinforcing our commitment to clean, renewable solar power and protecting the environment,” said Keith Morgan, Agilent director of environmental, health, safety and security. “Using high-efficiency solar technology maximizes the return on our investment and minimizes the environmental impact of our operations.”
The system features the SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile, the solar industry’s first non-penetrating rooftop product that combines a high-efficiency SunPower solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered unit. Tilted at a five-degree angle, the T5 Roof Tile system approximately doubles the energy generated per square meter compared to systems that are mounted flat onto commercial rooftops.
“Combined with SunPower’s high-performance solar panels, the T5 Roof Tile will deliver more solar energy per square foot and greater energy savings than conventional systems,” said Bill Kelly, managing director at SunPower. “This is a real demonstration of Agilent’s commitment to sustainable practices, and will help the company maintain its position as an innovative business leader.”
According to conversion formulas provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Agilent’s solar system in Santa Clara is expected to displace more than 50 million pounds of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. This is equivalent to the emissions displaced from removing more than 4,200 cars from California’s highways. Agilent owns the renewable energy credits and all environmental attributes associated with the system.

high efficiency solar panel…
I’m glad to find an article on high efficiency solar panel. I’ve been looking for a while now and there doesn’t seem to be too much valid info out there….
Dear Sirs\ Mis, our company is interested in quickly attracting venture
funding to finish work on the technology of production of
solar modules with high efficiency. request for funding and in the
annex to the letter the results of our work in the form of a report
We offer more detailed information on our company and demand for grant
capital funding in the amount of – $ 3000 000.
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY – technology perfected laboratory,
to manufacture industrial design and conduct an independent test.
REQUIRED AMOUNT OF VENTURE FINANCING – $ 3000 000.
The additional informationFinancing term – 18 months. Return of the
investor – in the course
10 days after the expiration of funding.
PROPOSAL FOR COOPERATION for venture investors
After production of the industrial design and an independent test, we
propose % Of revenue from the sale of technology.
COMMERCIALIZATION developed technology.
Our technology has a wide range of potential buyers.
This technology allows all companies to manufacturers of solar modules
very easy to integrate our technology into an existing, technological
complex. It is planned to implement the technology on a territorial basis –
right to the technology will be limited to use by the buyer on the
Territories
and obemu release.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
At present the main trends in development by improving the efficiency of
photo electric plates in the application of new non-silicon materials.
So a few days ago, the Japanese company Sharp after 9 years of work
reported the creation of a prototype battery that runs without a hub, but
the efficiency of which is 35,8%.
New uses for electricity generation several photo-absorbing layers, united
among themselves. The substrate is made of battery connections on the basis
of indium and gallium. The properties provided by the battery is quite close
to those used in the aerospace industry. Talking about the mass use will not
have developers in the coming years to address issues of cost reduction and
a number of technological problems.
Our company has gone a different way:
1. We left a substrate of mono silicon.
2. on the surface of the substrate of mono silicon, we have consistently
strike a few
layers of thickness 50-100 nano meter (materials that are applied is our
know-how) –
* Main layer of nano-size mono atomic amorphous silicon, is a very active
state of amorphous silicon. In this layer, the speed of motion of electrons
is several times higher than the standard Cell-based silicon. And as this
layer is able to convert into electrical energy is not only the visible part
of the spectrum of sunlight and ultra violet and infra red radiation. Mono
atomic amorphous silicon produced by quantum chemical engineering at a
temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Properties of mono atomic amorphous silicon are truly unique.
Cost to automobile 1 gr. This material does not exceed $ 100.
At the same time using 1 gr. mono amorphous silicon can cover 10 square
meter
photovoltaic plates.
* extreme layer is an anti-reflecting the carbon coating.
Total efficiencies achieved over 35%.
If you compare the cost of Sell-based mono silicon efficiency 16%
Cell produced by our technology with efficiency over 35%, our Sell more
10-15% while the efficiency of our Sell more than 2 times better.
While improving the technology and equipment we can achieve efficiency of
50% and above
.
The characteristics of our products:
Specification
Dimension :156mm x 156mm ± 0.5mm
Thickness :203 mc.m ± 0,5 mc.m, 180 mc.m ± 0,5 mc.m
Front :2.0 ± 0.1mm busbar (silver)
Silicon nitride antireflection coating
Back 3.0mm continuous soldering pads (silver)
Back surface field (aluminum)
Efficiency – 35%
Power : 6,5 watt
Color uniformity A, grade
In addition to the use of solar energy nanoscale mono atomic amorphous
silicon and its application of our technology has great prospect of
application in the electronics industry.
When applying this material for silicon-based chip, we seek to increase
speed and memory in the old scale of the chip.
We have plans to use this technology in other areas – space, medicine ..
To maintain the pace and timing of the completion of the production of
industrial prototypes we raise $ 3000 000.
We are interested in quickly attracting investment.
