Oerlikon Solar
TEL Solar is a manufacturer of production equipment for the manufacturing of thin-film silicon solar modules.
TEL Solar owns the patent for the double junction thin film silicon technology from 1993. The two junctions consist of the amorphous silicon (a-Si) top cell and the microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) bottom cell. Micromorph is the brand name describing the amorphous/microcrystalline silicon tamdem cell. TEL Solar was the first to integrate boron doped zinc oxyde deposited by low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) as the Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) layer, and the first to commercialize the high-efficiency Micromorph process. The majority of its customers upgraded from amorphous single junction to micromorph (double junction) technology.
TEL Solar is headquartered in Switzerland and has about 650 employees. The installed production capacity at its customer sites cummulates to 1 Giga Watt ( 1'000 MW). TEL Solar maintains sales and service centers in the USA, Europe, China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word solar:
“The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe; nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
