Sharp: A Trusted Name In Solar Electricity
It's been nearly a half-century since Sharp's first reliable solar-power solution was used in a
lighthouse. It's also when our vision for a clean, solar-powered world led us to develop solar
systems for a broad range of applications. From satellites, telecommunications, water
pumps, remote houses and safety signals, to grid-tied homes, businesses and large solar
farms, Sharp has manufactured a variety of products that harvest abundant, inexhaustible
solar energy - all to deliver electricity. Forty-five years and countless innovations later, we're a
global leader in solar, providing the systems to power more homes and businesses than any
other solar manufacturer in the world.
With more solar energy product choices than ever, Sharp is poised to bring the promise of
this amazing, money-saving, non-polluting and ever-renewable resource to everyone on the
planet - from the largest businesses to homes and families around the world. Maybe even
yours.

United Solar Ovonic is the world leader in thin-film technologies. It's a company with years of
experience in photovoltaics and is backed by a U.S. technology leader, Energy Conversion
Devices, which holds 350 U.S. patents and 800 foreign patents. UNI-SOLAR technology has
proven itself over decades under the most extreme conditions imaginable, including
satellites, ocean buoys and military applications. They offer a proven product, a proven
technology, from a proven company.
The foundation of all UNI-SOLAR products is their unique Triple Junction amorphous silicon
solar cell. Amorphous construction allows lower costs, and a flexible substrata with DuPont
Tefzel glazing creates a flexible, unbreakable product. Each cell is composed of three
semiconductor junctions stacked on top of each other. Each layer is tuned for increased
sensitivity to specific light frequencies. The bottom cell absorbs red light, the middle cell
absorbs green light and the top cell absorbs blue light. This spectrum splitting capability
delivers higher efficiency than any other amorphous silicon products.
