Zero Width Laser Cutting Technology

Advanced Solar Photonics (ASP) the cutting-edge developer of laser equipment for solar panel processing, thin-film solar cells, and commercial solar products presents the photovoltaic industry with Zero Width Laser Cutting Technology® (ZWLCT®). This process is a non-contact method which splits glass and other non-metallic brittle materials on the molecular level with tremendous speed, no material loss, and no chips or other debris associated with conventional scribe and break technology.

Precisely cutting glass and other substrates has always been a vexing problem for the solar industry. For years now, there have been two major cutting methods: mechanical scribing or sawing and laser cutting. The explosive rise of the photovoltaic industry has put new demands on these existing cutting technologies. Advanced Solar Photonics utilizes ZWLCT® in its Fantom G8™, a thin-film laser scribing system.

"Zero Width Laser Cutting Technology® can be used for precise glass separation at production speeds not previously possible and with edge characteristics not attainable by any other process to date. The processed glass is four to five times mechanically stronger and has defect free edges without additional edge processing, said Edgardo Rodriguez, Vice President of sales for Advanced Solar Photonics. “Using this patented method aids the glass in withstanding extreme day/night temperature changes in the harsh desert environments by maintaining the integrity of the glass, thus strengthening it and ensuring long term stability.”

Zero Width Laser Cutting Technology® produces the maximum MicroCrack depth in the subsurface layer of the glass and not thermal-fracturing of the glass. After performing this application, the human eye is unable to see any change in the properties of the glass; however, when applying a small amount of pressure, the glass will split along the scribe line. Following the split, the glass has no particular damage and the highest edge quality which one can safely run their finger over requiring no further processing making grinding and cleaning lines unnecessary."

Advanced Solar Photonics Announces the SolarTower™

The SolarTower™ generates approximately 4 kW per SolarTower™.

It's automated sun following allows the SolarTower™ to move with the suns motion, maintaining constant solar exposure.

Multiple SunPanels™ can be added for increased power generation .

A small plot size is needed for installation .

The SolarTower™ meets state requirements for solar energy incentive programs .

Its modular design of base can accommodate additional panels as needed.

The SolarTower™ is Advanced Solar Photonics’ commercial photovoltaic solution for solar energy by commercial and industrial businesses. The Solar Towers™ design allows for the highest amount of energy produced with the smallest footprint. This new design incorporates Advanced Solar Photonics’ SunPanels™ by mounting them to an innovative modular pole design allowing for ingenious utilization of space. Our SunPanels™ can be mounted strategically around your facility without the use of conventional mounting on roofs.
