Solaria1700 Broadway , Oakland, California, United States

Established in 2000, Solaria has created one of the industry’s most respected IP Portfolios, with over 65 issued and pending patents encompassing materials, processes, applications, products, manufacturing automation and equipment. Headquartered in California, Solaria has developed a technology platform that unlocks the potential of solar energy.

History of PV Innovation

Solaria’s initial technology expertise was in the development of low-concentration-photovoltaics (LCPV). Solaria’s products and technologies were field-tested, certified and productized, with over 30 mega-watts installed in demanding, utility-grade, ground mounted deployments around the world. Solaria became synonymous with field-tested, high quality, durable, high performance LCPV combined with innovative solar tracking arrays.  As part of its utility solution, Solaria developed NEXTracker, answering the growing market need for highly integrated and cost-effective tracking systems. Leveraging its depth and breadth in the system domain, NEXTracker was spun-out. Within a year, NEXTracker became the leading independent provider of tracking systems and grew one hundred fold. A year later, Flextronics acquired it for $335M, and it continues the same growth trajectory.

Beauty, Efficiency, and Power

For nearly twenty years, Solaria has set the pace for solar panel performance, efficiency, reliability, quality and design. Solaria continues to leverage its patented technology, engineering expertise and sophisticated automation into creating one of the most attractive, energy efficient solar panels available on the market today.

Solaria Technology

Solaria‘s technology platform unlocks the potential of solar energy allowing it to be ubiquitous and universally accessed. Solaria’s industry-leading photovoltaic products leverage proven c-Si cells, re-assembled using high precision semiconductor automation to deliver high quality, durability and performance.

Solaria starts with standard, industry proven crystalline silicon solar cells and utilizes advanced proprietary semiconductor manufacturing processes to singulate them into high-uniform strips which are then re-assembled into strings of variable density depending on the application. Solaria’s approach allows for a high degree of customization not possible with standard cell configurations that enable optimized solutions for specific applications

Solaria PowerXT® Residential Products

• Higher Efficiency, Higher Power: PowerXT panels achieve higher efficiency over conventional panels, making Solaria panels one of the highest power panels available

• Lower System Costs: Higher efficiency panels produce more power per square meter area, reducing the number of panels, balance of system components, and installation labor

• Improved Shading Tolerance: Sub-strings are interconnected in parallel, dramatically lowering the shading losses and increasing energy yield

• Durability and Reliability: Ribbon-less, solder-free cell-to-cell connections increase reliability and are designed to exceed the 25-year warranty
