ATF technology at a glance- ATF technology is less sensitive to high temperature conditions and more receptive to diffuse light
- ATF technology products can generate practical power that is either very similar or at times higher than a traditional crystalline module with a similar power rating
- ATF process is basically a very thin a-Si deposition; traditional c-Si process requires substantially more raw material (silicon) and expensive mechanical processing before creating a comparable product
- Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) products that use ATF technology are able to produce energy under diffused light, making them a perfect solution for use in non-ideal roofing layouts or partly shaded areas
ICP Solar is currently involved in applied research and product development for the following applications:- Power-generating rooftop products (Solar S- tile)
- Grid connect technology (inverter and connector)
- Charge control functions (automotive, small urban portable electronic)

“I could not get enough power in either battery to start our [sailboat] engine. I put on the trickle charger [in] partial sun, high cloud with a storm coming. After 1 1/2 hours, the engine fired up. The other boaters were so amazed.”
Mac Yuile “When we take our electric vehicle to promote alternative energy, the solar panels are the first thing people ask about. It has been fun to drive the EV and talk to others about solar energy.”
