Image of Panasonic's Amorphous Silicon Solar CellsPanasonic’s amorphous silicon solar cells can power various indoor and outdoor devices such as meters, GPS trackers, faucets, IoT devices, and many more. The Amorton series cells are available in traditional glass and advanced stainless steel and film substrates. These solar cells are strong and lightweight, providing designers with great flexibility for demanding applications.

Panasonic amorphous silicon indoor solar cells are specifically designed for the indoor light spectrum, resulting in a stable power source even in low or artificial light conditions. This makes them the ideal energy harvester for indoor wireless sensor networks. Panasonic solar cells can be customized to fit customers' needs.

  • Indoor glass substrate products: Glass offers a durable, low-cost substrate for amorphous solar cells. Panasonic’s indoor solar cells have been designed to provide reliable, self-sufficient power to a variety of wireless sensor nodes in the world of IoT.

Panasonic amorphous outdoor solar cells provide a reliable power source when light conditions are not ideal. The outdoor solar cells are available with both glass and film substrate providing different cost and durability options.

  • Outdoor glass substrate products: Amorphous solar cells can provide usable energy in a variety of situations. In shade, morning, or evening, and less than ideal positions, the Panasonic solar cells will still provide a self-sufficient power source for outdoor devices compared to other technologies.
  • Outdoor film/flexible substrate products: Outdoor solar cells with a film substrate provides additional durability and flexibility, making the solar cell virtually indestructible. The film substrate solar cells are designed for devices in harsh conditions with less-than-ideal light conditions.
