Our total solar power module mass is 508 g/m_². This includes the cells, interconnects, and protective film layers.

Bifacial technology allows a photovoltaic module to generate power from light received on either side of the module. Our silicon heterojunction solar cells are intrinsically bifacial, allowing us to rethink packaging for our solar power modules to maximize power. Bifacial technology has the potential to change the way we think about solar arrays and spacecraft orientation. This technology is available to our customers on demand.

Our proprietary cell-to-cell interconnection technology is optimized for very thin crystalline silicon solar cells that can withstand up to 10 years in a variety of destinations in space.

The AO and UV protective coatings leveraged by Solestial have been used in the space solar power industry for many years and are proven to protect modules from the damage encountered in low Earth orbits.

Solestial solar power modules are designed for manufacturing using processes derived from the terrestrial solar and PCB industries that can scale to gigawatts as the space industry grows. Solestial’s technology allows us to manufacture large-scale modules in weeks, not months or years.
