Heliosphera » Micromorph - What is Micromorph Technology and Why it is Important
The dual semiconductor layer structure makes optimal use of the sun’s
light spectrum because the two silicon layers convert a bigger part of
the light into electricity. The amorphous layer is sensitive to the
visible range of the solar radiation, while the microcrystalline layer
converts the infrared part of the spectrum into electricity. As a result
a module based on micromorph technology is 50% more efficient than a
module based on the conventional amorphous technology.
Micromorph technology is based on environmentally friendly, non-toxic
abundant materials. It also requires half the energy needed to produce
crystalline silicon cells. Consequently, micromorph modules require two
to three years to deliver the energy consumed for their production.
