Each UNI-POWER solar electric module
utilizes the proprietary Triple Junction silicon solar
cells of United Solar. These cells are made in a roll-to-roll
deposition process on a continuous roll of stainless
steel sheet metal. The result is a unique, flexible,
lightweight cell.
The modules are exceptionally durable. They are encapsulated
in UV stabilized polymers and framed with anodized aluminum.
A coated Galvalume steel backing plate provides stiffness.
The polymer encapsulation includes EVA and fluoropolymer
Tefzel, a DuPont film.
This module is provided with integral wiring. The wiring
for the module is a 2-conductor 18AWG cable with insulation
rated at 70 deg.-C (158F).

The heart of the new UNI-POWER modules is
the Triple Junction silicon solar cell unique to United
Solar. Each cell is composed of three semiconductor junctions
stacked on top of each other. The bottom cell absorbs
the red light, the middle cell absorbs the green light
and the top cell absorbs the blue light. This spectrum
splitting capability is the key to higher efficiency.
