Brief Introduction of Solar Cells

A solar cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current, voltage, or resistance, vary when exposed to light. Solar cells are the building blocks of photovoltaic modules, otherwise known as solar panels.

Introduction of our Company

Our core business is the design and manufacture of III-V epitaxial material used in cellular phones and other wireless devices, and the design and manufacture of solar cells and solar sheets for a variety of applications, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), spacecraft, and terrestrial collectors.

Founded in 2000, we are well equipped to conduct its business.  The company occupies a 30,000 square foot facility in Niles, a northern suburb of Chicago, Illinois.  The facility contains a clean room and device fabrication and test laboratory. We own all the tools and equipment necessary to grow, fabricate, and test epitaxial material and solar cells and sheets. The company owns a set of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) tools capable of high volume production.  We also possess the tools and equipment required to fabricate and test semiconductor device structures and solar cells.

We are dedicated to producing quality products to meet customer needs. We are an ISO 9001-certified company. Production begins only after we are sure that all required customer specifications have been met. In order to ensure the quality of our products, we employ sophisticated quality control processes.

We prides itself on the quality of its employees. Some members of our technical staff are among the world’s foremost experts in the growth and processing of GaAs- and InP-based electronic devices and solar cells. Our staff supports customers, not only during the product development period, but also during production in order to enable continuing improvements in final product performance and yield.

We also performs contract research and development.  Since 2003, we have been a prime federal contractor on more than thirty programs to develop solar cells, transistors, and lasers.  A key result of this innovation has been the development of the epitaxial lift-off (ELO) process, which uses in its line of solar cell and solar sheet products. We have also supported other companies in the performance of their research and development programs.  Many of the innovations developed at our have been incorporated into commercial products.

Advantage of Polycrystalline Solar Cells

1.     Tire-1 Solar Cells’ Manufacturer Quality Guarantee. With a complete and sophisticated quality government system, our Quality Management have arrived world’s leading place. Customer can receive Tire-1 Cells Maker’s Quality Standard Products.

2.     Trusted Warranty. We can supply trusted after-sales service to our customer. If our cells are found not in conformity to the specification of manufacturer, or should the inspected quantity found in shortage, or should the packing found damaged, the buyer has the right to claim to the seller. The claim, if any, should be presented to seller within 30 days after cargo's arrival date to the port, together with related inspection report and photos issued and provided by a reputable independent surveyor such as SGS.

3.     World’s Leading Manufacturer Equipment. We imported the newest and leading production equipment from abroad. Advanced equipment can guarantee the stable quality of cells. Auto production line can also save labor cost which will further cut our production cost.

4.     Bulk supply: With the production capacity of 500MW, we can produce large quantity every month. This can satisfy most customer requirement.

Usage of Polycrystalline Solar Cells

Solar cells are often electrically connected and encapsulated as a module. Photovoltaic modules often have a sheet of glass on the front (sun up) side, allowing light to pass while protecting the semiconductor wafers from abrasion and impact due to wind-driven debris, rain, hail, etc. Solar cells are also usually connected in series in modules, creating an additive voltage. Connecting cells in parallel will yield a higher current; our solar cells have passed IEC Certification. With high and stable quality, our cells can greatly improve the performance of Solar Modules.

Applications of Polycrystalline Solar Cells

Assemblies of photovoltaic cells are used to make solar modules which generate electrical power from sunlight, as distinguished from a "solar module" or "solar panel". A solar array generates solar power using solar energy.

Packaging & Delivery of Polycrystalline Solar Cells

Carton Box Package and Deliver by air. It should be noticed that it should be avoid of water, sunshine and moist.
