Form Factor
The company’s 1.4 m2 substrates are currently the leading format for equipping silicon thin-film solar-module production facilities, and have become the industry standard through numerous installations. Not only are they the only substrates available for wide-scale implementation today, but also this format has other advantages over larger substrates including higher efficiency, lower cost of ownership per watt, lower shipment costs, and ease of installation.

Famous quotes containing the words form and/or factor:
“Thir dread commander: he above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent
Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
On half the Nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes Monarchs.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
