The Next generation of Solar Power from Japan

Photovoltaic modules are composed of silicon or compound semiconductors. Kaneka’s focus is on the mainstream silicon versions, of which there are two subcategories: tandem microcrystalline and amorphous silicon structures. Crystalline modules represent around 80% of the photovoltaic module market.
Kaneka applied proprietary technology to develop HYBRID modules composed of layers of amorphous and thin-film microcrystalline silicon that offer considerable next generation potential.
