400W Single Junction Thin Film Solar Module from Signet Solar

Industry’s First Single Junction 400 W Module Yields Higher Return on Investment for Solar Farms

Signet Solar, a global manufacturer of thin film silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules, today announced the introduction of 400W power class module using single junction (SJ) thin film silicon technology. Signet Solar started volume production of these TUV certified large area thin film modules in October 2008 by implementing its proprietary technology on commercially available equipment. The production line has successfully ramped up over the last year and is operating at full capacity.

Signet’s consistent execution to its roadmap of improving module efficiency and output power has been well received by its customers. In addition to providing 15% higher output, the 400W single junction modules reduce balance of system costs by 7% to 10%. “Our strategy of utilizing proven, commercially available equipment and implementing proprietary technologies has enabled us to quickly bring to market the industry leading price performance large area modules for utility scale power generation,” said Rajeeva Lahri, CEO and founder of Signet Solar. “Our first year of production has been a resounding success with customers and partners who have embraced the usage of our large form factor modules, translating into a meaningful increase in internal rates of return (IRR) for investors.”
