What is a cylindrical Solyndra solar panel?

Benefits of a Cylinder Solyndra designs and manufactures proprietary cylindrical modules incorporating copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film technology. Our panels employ cylindrical modules which capture sunlight across a 360-degree photovoltaic surface capable of converting direct, diffuse and reflected sunlight into electricity.

How does a solar cylinder work?

Each model features a dedicated high performance solar coil, transferring the maximum amount of heat from the solar circuit to the stored water. The cylinders are compatible with a wide range of solar systems available and have been designed to maximise the dedicated solar volume.

How do Solyndra solar panels work?

Our panels employ cylindrical modules which capture sunlight across a 360-degree photovoltaic surface capable of converting direct, diffuse and reflected sunlight into electricity. In the industry sometimes panels are referred to as modules; at Solyndra, each panel is made up of individual modules.

Why should you choose Solyndra solar panels?

Solyndra’s cylindrical design offers proven reliability and superior performance. Each panel is made up of 40 individual modules, wired in parallel for high current, which capture sunlight across a 360-degree photovoltaic surface capable of converting direct, diffuse and reflected sunlight into electricity.

Who makes Solyndra solar panels?

Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells. It was based in Fremont, California. In 2009, the Obama administration co-signed $535 million in loans to Solyndra.

How fast can Solyndra solar panels be used?

Solyndra’s panels have been tested and are certified for use in winds of up to 208km/h (130mph). Further, having a distributed rooftop load of 16kg/m2 (3.3lbs/ft2), Solyndra’s self-ballasting systems can be used on buildings that would otherwise require structural reinforcement to harvest solar power.
