SOLAR ENERGY OPTICS

Advancing Solar Energy with SEO™ Technology

TRANSFORMING THE ECONOMICS OF THE SOLAR INDUSTRY

  • ICS Ltd. has developed advanced optics for the solar industry and introduced a unique Solar Energy Optics (SEO™) technology platform.​
  • SEO™ film solution provides a 2–8 % increase in energy output for conventional solar modules—and even higher gains of up to 20% for novel applications in optimized configurations​
  • SEO™ technology advances solar energy to the front line of sustainable energy solutions​

SEO™ TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM CAVITY OPTICS

THIN FILM-EMBEDDED MICRO-PATTERNS

​SEO™ film is applied to the “gap” areas of a photovoltaic panel. Film captures and redirects additional light into the cell and thereby significantly increases energy output​.

  1. SEO Film
  2. Photovoltaic Cell
  3. Encapsulate film
  4. Glass/Backsheet
  5. Frame

SEO solutions are suitable for all types of solar cells. This film can be applied on the inside of the top or the bottom of the glass for both mono and bifacial modules ​
