Let us tell you about SunPower Sign

“SunPower Sign, Inc. has always been a leader in innovative solar design. We are proud to be on the cutting-edge of developing this application of flexible thin film solar panels for the signage industry."

SunPower Sign is a multi-disciplinary company taking solar ideas through design, fabrication and installation. We use our state of the art capabilities and extensive engineering knowledge to create ideas, real life installations and green environments. Our approach includes an in-house team of industrial and graphic designers, engineers, project managers and highly skilled fabricators. This complete package of creative energy, strong project management and experienced engineers allow us to create solar solution products and systems.

 

 

 

We have worked hard at designing the right control function, along with utilizing the proper LED (Light Emitting Diode), to make our sign function properly. We have not stopped there. We are working on many new technologies to bring our system to the forefront, including but not limited to, the use of low voltage flexible neon. We look forward to the next year and the expansion of our business.

The Benefits

By implementing this solar solution into the design of a sign, the costs of installing and operating a sign become significantly reduced; eliminating utility bills, qualifying for tax credits and energy grants and reducing the users’ carbon footprint.

Advantages of thin film solar panels:

Lightweight – Thin film solar panels are lightweight; they are typically 10% the weight of a crystalline solar panel.

Durable – This product is encapsulated in an EFTE (Ethylene Tetraflouroethylene) exterior, which is a Teflon-type material that is applied using a down web process to make the panels waterproof and durable. The panel is rated to operate safely between -55 degrees Celsius and +85 degrees Celsius.

Flexible – Thin film solar panels use a flexible, yet durable polyimide substrate that results in enhanced flexibility. It truly is the only thin film amorphous silicon solar module that is rollable.

Adhesive-backed – Thin film solar panels use a Butyl adhesive used by the automotive industry. The adhesive will permanently adhere to any nonporous surface.

Longevity – Thin film solar panels are not easily damaged since it is encapsulated in EFTE. Hail or other objects (rocks, golf balls, etc.) can easily damage crystalline solar panels. In addition, if a portion of the crystalline panel is damaged, it will not work. If a portion of a thin film solar panel is damaged, the rest of the panel will still work.

Power –Thin film solar panels work well in full sun, cloudy conditions, even at sunrise and sunset. Depending on your location and the time of year, thin film solar panels can double the amount of electricity-producing hours. The system will maintain a reserve capacity for up to five days with little to no direct sunlight. Crystalline solar panels will only produce electricity in full sun. If shade covers any portion of a crystalline panel, power drops off, sometimes to zero.
