High Efficiency Solar Cells
IXOLAR
TM
Solar Cells are IXYS' monocrystalline, high efficiency solar cell technology products
incorporating an enhanced light trapping surface. There are 7 different cell sizes available: 36mm²,
120mm², 240mm², 342mm², 360mm², 480mm² and 676mm².
The IXOLAR
TM
Solar Cells are ideal for charging various battery powered and handheld consumer
products such as mobile phones, cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and toys. They are also suitable for
industrial applications such as wireless sensors, portable instrumentation and for charging emergency
backup batteries.
With an efficiency of typically 17%, these solar cells give the ability to extend run time even in "low light"
conditions and increase battery life and run time in a small footprint, which can be easily accommodated
in the design of Portable Products.
IXOLAR
TM
products have a very good response over a wide wavelength range and therefore can be used
in both indoor and outdoor applications.
