PowerFilm®
Incredible paperthin ultra lightweight solar
panels - Virtually indestructible.
The wireless electronics series offers a new opportunity to solve the old
problem of limited power for wireless electronics in portable and remote applications.
These modules are lightweight, paper thin, and durable. With their ultra-film
profile, they are easily integrated with devices for solar recharging or
direct powering. Specifically developed to recharge AA, AAA, plus 6 and 12
volt batteries.

Introduction
to PowerFilm®
PowerFilm®
PowerFilm® is the world’s leading thin
film photovoltaics. PowerFilm products are paper thin, offer unsurpassed flexibility,
are durable, and have a significant weight advantage over heavier metal-based
and glass-based solar modules.
The PowerFilm product line offers a full line of products for diverse applications
and use environments. The line ranges from small 3-volt modules for wireless
electronics to modules 20 Watts and larger. There are PowerFilm solar modules
specifically designed for wireless electronics, RC aircraft, and permanent
outdoor applications.
PowerFilm can be easily integrated with devices. Its thin profile and flexibility
make it a top choice of product designers and engineers.
Imagine taking paper-thin plastic film and making it generate power again
and again.
That’s PowerFilm.
PowerFilm integrated solar modules have a paper thin durable polymer substrate
2 mils (0.05 mm) or less thick and are monolithically integrated. Environmentally-friendly
amorphous silicon is the semiconductor absorber layer.
PowerFilm is developed and manufactured by Iowa Thin Film Technologies
(ITFT).
Founded in 1988, ITFT is the leader in monolithically-integrated semiconductor
devices on plastic, using its proprietary roll-to-roll manufacturing technology
platform.
Modules in the PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics
Series offer a new opportunity to solve the old problem of limited power for
wireless electronics for portable and remote applications. PowerFilm®
Wireless Electronics modules are lightweight, paper thin, and durable. Their
ultra-thin profile enables them to be easily integrated with devices for solar
recharging or direct powering. Modules have been specifically developed to
recharge AA, AAA, and 6- and 12-volt batteries. These modules do not have
a UVstabilized surface. For connection, just solder or crimp to the copper
tape.
The PowerFilm® RC Aircraft Series modules are designed to be easily
integrated with RC Aircraft. These PowerFilm® modules are very lightweight,
can be soldered to from the back of the module via the extended copper tape,
and have an extra edge seal for protection from fuel contamination and weather.
Modules are available with a strong pressure sensitive adhesive for simple
bonding. These modules do not have a UVstabilized surface. For connection,
just solder to the copper tape.
The PowerFilm® WeatherPro™ Series is the right choice for permanent outdoor applications
that are directly exposed to the elements. The especially rugged construction
of these PowerFilm® modules includes a UV-stabilized surface, extra edge
seal for weather protection, and tin-coated copper leads that extend from
the module. Coating the leads with an RTV silicon compound can provide a tightly
sealed package.
