Advent Solar is a leading innovator for the next generation silicon based solar technology.  Our focus is to deliver IP for intelligent, high energy silicon photovoltaic solutions. With patented, advanced technologies, we are enabling higher value products that are Beautiful by Design™, changing the rules for smart grid economics.

Our leading-edge Advent Solar® Ventura™ Technology provides the blueprint for high-performance solar modules that deliver the industry’s best value for silicon PV modules. Advent Solar solutions offer the industry’s only comprehensive cell-to-module architectural approach that is scalable to silicon types and amenable to highly automated semiconductor-like manufacturing.  Advent Solar’s unique approach enables higher value at many levels, to shift solar from an “alternative” to a mainstream energy source.

Conventional photovoltaic manufacturing is severely limited by antiquated manufacturing constraints, both at the cell and module levels. Improvements in conventional photovoltaic technologies have become increasingly marginal while, simultaneously, the market demands from these products have increased.

Only technologies that break free of conventional thinking can hope to move past these limiting paradigms and move solar technology towards viable grid parity solutions. Advent Solar® Ventura™ Technology is just such a solution.

Ventura Technology serves as a new blueprint for next generation solar solutions. Read more...

Advent Solar has developed the Solar Green Index, a measurable benchmark for assessing the efficiency and value of silicon PV architectures from a system perspective. Key factors in this index include the ratio of module efficiency to cell efficiency and a manufacturing precision factor – the higher the index, the better the delivered value.

Peter Green, Advent Solar president and CEO, has challenged his company to lead the way in advancing the Solar Green Index. Advent Solar Ventura technology is the world's only comprehensive cell-to-module architecture designed from the ground up to help boost the Solar Green Index.
