Silexium Could Change Solar Panel Manufacture
Sixtron has recently developed a thin coating for solar cells called Silexium. This anti-reflective coating could make solar panels much more affordable.
The manufacture of solar cells now requires the use of saline gas to make anti-reflective coating, that is extremely dangerous as well as expensive. Silexium does not require silane to be present and could reduce the complexity and money required to make solar cells. This new coating would also provide more protection over the cells allow for possibly longer life and more power generated.
Sounds like a promising product that could help expand the usage of solar panels.

Sounds like Silexium does nothing but positive things for solar panels! It’s a great thing that they’re adopting to using this rather than saline…Many people, myself included, are interested in solar panels but currently they’re a bit unaffordable so I think it’d be great if consumers could actually afford it.
This is extremely good news for the solar power industry. Solar power is obviously a green energy source that we should be taking advantage of, but with the high price of solar cells, few people can actually use this technology. If they can bring down the price of solar cells, it will truly be a game changer.
Very good to hear about new inroads being made into affordable solar power solutions. Hopefully, they penetrate the markets more and more in coming years and we’re able to use solar power instead of conventional energy in as many areas as possible.
Till then,

The British Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors says that the payback time – when you have recovered the cost of solar panels in saving on bills – is 100 years. As their lifespan is 30 years and most people move house every 15-25 years it would take an enthusiast to install them. To be fair, there are people who give a payback time as low as 13 years, but they probably sell solar panels.
Due to the great properties of Sixtron make the solar energy section more reliable.
I wish governament could help these companies in selling their products for affordable costs.The only reason why people are not completely interested in such products is the cost!
Silexium is really good for solar systems. Thanks for share new information with us.
That is great news. With Silexium now into the equation, solar panels would be much more affordable.
