AMBITIOUS BRAND FOR MARKET EXPERTS
In order to become the civilization we are today, humankind has always took from nature more than gave it back.
But this has to change, as we can’t ignore the devastating effects of our deeds to the planet any longer.
We have to expand our economies and businesses sustainably, minimizing impact on the environment we live in.
WE BELIEVE IN LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY
Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon @ SoliTek factory.
SoliTek is here to play an important role in the environmental friendly global movement, producing solar panels using only renewable energy, and championing the Glass-Glass solar panel segment, whose production requires less CO2 intense raw materials.
Vidmantas Janulevičius Founder and Chairman of the Board, SoliTek and Global BOD Group

EFFICIENCY IS IMPORTANT
Market standard of 12 year product warranty and 25 year efficiency warranty sounds good only on paper. This means that if the panel fails completely after 13 years it is not covered by any warranty.

Following 1000 h Damp Heat, both panels underwent 50 Thermal Cycles and 10 Humidity Freeze Cycles. Both panels were then placed back into Damp Heat.

Each component plays an important role in the lifetime and performance of our panels. By using only the highest grade materials we are able to offer industry-leading product warranties.
Backsheet is a 0.4 mm plastic sheet used in most of the panels on the market today. By eliminating this we are able to dramatically reduce the rate of the panel failure.

Depending on its composition, a rooftop will be rated at a certain Fire Class: A, B or C.
Standard is rated Fire Class C. Glass-Glass is rated Fire Class A.
Placing solar panels on the roof, affects the overall rating of the house. Do you still want to put Class C panels on your Class A roof?

One was designed to be cheap.
The other - for maximum reliability and long-term savings.

Cell
Solar cell microcrack - result of mechanical forces or thermal stress. 6% of panels have at least some microcracks already after delivery. After load testing, 41% of panels have at least some microcracking. 8 cracked cells can immediately cause a power loss of about 5% and significantly accelerate panels degradation.
When glass-foil panels are stressed, cell cracks can occur which permanently reduce the yield of the photovoltaic panel.
With glass-glass panels the cells are only bent along the neutral axis and stretched or compressed. This prevents cell cracks.
Micro cracks are visible only during Electro Luminescence (EL) test

Gaps between solar cells can be increased for higher transparency of the panel. Have an idea? Lets talk and we will find the solution.

Recognized as the “Greenest Industrial Building in Europe” in 2013 by the German Chamber of Commerce. All production is powered by 100% renewable energy.
Most of our power demand is satisfied by our own patented PV-Geothermal heating and cooling system, which consists of
PROUD TO BE GREEN AND INNOVATIVE
1 MW of Geothermal power and 150 kW of PV power.
Due to our use of renewable energy use in manufacturing, we save over 400 tons of CO2 from emission each year. That’s the equivalent of planting 2000 trees every year.
