Fluorine-less thin film technology

We all know that solar energy is a good solution to reduce the carbon emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect, and to the global climate change. Thus solar modules are "green", but have you ever thought about how "green" their manufacturing is?

It is a very odd thing to reduce the carbon emissions by gaining energy by photovoltaic devices, while the manufacturing of some solar modules contributes to the emission of gases, which are much more harmful greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide.

Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF₆₎ is the most potent greenhouse gas that has been evaluated, with a global warming potential of 22,800 times that of CO₂ when compared over a 100 year period.

Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF₃₎ is a greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 17,200 times greater than that of CO₂ when compared over a 100 year period.

Fluorine gas that is claimed to be "environmentally friendly" alternative to SF₆ and NF₃ is nevertheless a potentially hazardous and very agressive substance, which in contact with water forms hydrofluoric acid that is so agressive, that it corrodes even glass and stainless steel.

Would you like to handle such substances in your factory?

Can anybody guarantee that no leaks will ever occur?

GreenSolar’s technologies do not require any kind of fluorine gases, neither SF₆,  NF₃, nor F₂, thus using GreenSolar manufacturing equipment means saving the atmosphere.

If you are environmentally-conscious, before choosing one or another of the available production lines and technologies, ask for the fluorine and fluoride consumptions.

GreenSolar provides you only completely “green” FLUORINE-LESS THIN FILM TECHNOLOGIES.
