CdTe for Space

Power-to-weight that opens new frontiers — solar cells and modules on glass thinner than a millimeter.

Lightweight PV

W/kg worth paying for

Working with technology partners, our team has demonstrated solar cells and modules on thin to ultra-thin glass — under 1 mm — for exceptional power-to-weight ratios. Space is the beachhead market for our tandem roadmap: a segment where every gram matters and radiation tolerance counts.

  • Thin film on <1 mm glass: excellent W/kg for weight-critical applications
  • Space, airborne, military, and emergency/disaster-relief power
  • Index-matched anti-reflection coatings maximize current collection
  • Fast-throughput, low-cost fabrication for economical launch mass

Flying something power-hungry?

If your mission needs more watts per kilogram, we should talk.
