SUNGEN as a Thin Film Technology and Manufacturing Leader is Your Most Reliable Supplier for the Highest Quality Modules

HONG KONG, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SUNGEN, headquartered in Hong Kong, is a fully owned subsidiary of the ANWELL Group; a Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) list corporation specializing in high precision equipment used for large scale manufacturing production. ANWELL was founded in 2000 and hires more than 3000 employees across the globe and has more than 500 IPs in the group. To date, it has sold equipment and products to more than 60 countries around the world. When you buy a recordable optical disc in the market, it is very likely that was manufactured by an Anwell.

SUNGEN was formed in 2007 is now one of the world's leaders in amorphous silicon thin film manufacturing. It employs ANWELL's proprietary product technology with a current production capacity of 150MW and growing to over 1GW in 2013.  SUNGEN has regional offices in Australia, China, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia and the USA.

SUNGEN is a vertically integrated company providing turnkey solutions to the PV industry; including equipment design and build, solar modules and systems. Our global presence ensures that we can provide around the clock service to our customers. Our silicon thin-film modules are manufactured by our factory in An Yang, China with a fully automatic production system.

Silicon thin film was invented in 1975 with the state of the art semiconductor technology. The earliest solar farm with silicon thin film models has been operating successfully for more than 27 years. Compared to crystalline modules and other thin film technologies, there are several unique advantages for thin film silicon solar panel which results in more power generation each year:

1. The thermal coefficient of thin film silicon is less than half of the conventional silicon modules which delivers better power performance during high temperatures.
2. The weak light effect of silicon thin films allows it to generate power when the light intensity is low (i.e. working earlier in the morning and until later in the afternoon).
3. Thin film is the only thin film technology that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.  
4. It consumes far less energy in the production process than convention crystalline silicon modules.
5. Thin film silicon module is less sensitive to shadow which makes it perfect for BIPV and roof top installations.
6. The micro texture on the TCO film diffuses the light into the film which make thin film silicon less sensitive to mounting angle.

By 2012, SUNGEN will offer tandem modules with aSi as a top cell and ucSi as a bottom cell which can produce up to 160W per module. The aSi top cell converts the visible lights into electricity while the bottom cell converts the infrared component of the solar spectrum into electricity. This will maximize the conversion efficiency leading to higher power module capacity. SUNGEN believes silicon thin film systems will be able to reach grid party in most countries of the world before 2015.
