IXOLARTM High Efficiency SolarMD.
Description
IXOLAR
TM
SolarMD is an ANYSOLAR product line of Solar Module made of monocrystalline, high efficiency
solar cells. The IXOLAR
TM
SolarMD is an 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 a cell efficiency of typically 25%, SolarMD gives 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. The design allows connecting SolarMD flexibly in series and/or parallel to
perfectly meet the custom-specific application’s power requirements.
IXOLAR
TM
products have a very good photonic response over a wide range of wavelength and therefore
can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.

Moisture Sensitivity, Reflow Soldering and Washing Information
ANYSOLAR has characterized the moisture reflow sensitivity of the film laminated SolarMD. Moisture uptake from atmospheric
humidity occurs by diffusion. During the soldering process to the electrode, the combination of moisture uptake and high temperature
soldering may lead to moisture induced delamination and cracking of the component. To prevent this, this component must be handled
with care in soldering. The film laminated SolarMD is not recommended for high temperature surface mount soldering reflow. SolarMD
is encapsulated by the lamination with EVA and polymer film and thus excessively high temperatures soldering reflow is prohibited.
SolarMD is recommended to solder terminals by using oven curable solder paste, for instance, LORD PC10678HV silver conductor or
paste designed for screen print application and curable in convection oven at the profile of 100°C for 30 minutes Manual soldering is
also recommended with under 260°C for 2 sec. ANYSOLAR does not recommend the use of chlorinated solvents for washing.

Background
Some basic information needs to be covered to better understand what to expect in terms of
the SolarMD’s performance with regards to solar cell type, lighting conditions in terms of
power density, and general industry standards as they relate to battery charging.
Solar Cell Types
Keep in mind these cost and performance tradeoffs when comparing various solar cell
materials:
Polycrystalline cells are commonly found in outdoor applications and have a spectral
sensitivity range of 500nm to 1100nm. They’re in the medium price range and typically offer
a 13% power conversion efficiency.
Monocrystalline cells, such as the ANYSOLAR SolarMD, have a spectral sensitivity range from
300 nm (near-ultraviolet) to 1100 nm (near-infrared), which includes visible light (400 to 700
nm). Due to this wide spectral range, they can be used in both indoor and outdoor
applications. Monocrystalline or single-crystalline material is the most expensive but it does
not contain impurities, and as such the power conversion efficiency does not degrade over
operating time. The power conversion efficiency of commercially available monocrystalline
cells ranges from 15 to 25%. The surface of these cells is a homogenous dark blue or dark
grey.
Finally, amorphous cells, which work in the spectral range of 300nm to 600nm, are used
predominantly indoors in products such as solar powered calculators since they are not
sensitive to the upper light spectrum and cannot take advantage of natural sunlight. They
offer about 5% power conversion efficiency and are mostly used with ultra low power devices
like clocks and electronic calculators. Amorphous cells, like polycrystalline cells, suffer from
efficiency degradation.

SolarMD Description
SolarMD is made of monocrystalline, high-efficiency solar cells in a surface mountable package.
They’re robust and can be used in harsh environments. Solar cells used in SolarMD have a very
high (25%) power conversion efficiency, which means that 25% of the light energy is converted
into electrical energy. They’re extremely useful in applications requiring solar power generation in
a limited space.
Monocrystalline cells can be used in indoor and outdoor applications because they have a wide
spectral sensitivity, 300 to 1100 nm. However, the output power of a solar cell is proportional
(over a wide range) to the incoming light energy, and irradiance is generally much higher
outdoors. The values in the data sheet are measured at “standard condition” of 1 sun, which is
equal to 1000W per square meter sunlight irradiance at a defined light spectrum (air mass of 1.5)
and 25°C cell temperature.

Relative Lighting Power Density
The figure above compares relative power density for various lighting conditions in units of Watts
2
per square meter (W/m ). The reference standard condition is 1 Sun and is equal to 1000 Watts
per square meter of sunlight irradiance at a constant 25°C cell temperature and at 1.5 Air Mass
(Air Mass stands for a well defined light spectrum which appears if the sunlight goes through the
earth’s atmosphere at a defined angle).
As the chart clearly shows, the power density of typical indoor lighting is dramatically lower than
that of sunlight. Not only is irradiance from indirect and artificial light lower; the spectrum is also
narrower. In typical Office Space lighting with a spectrum produced from incandescent or halogen
light bulbs, the power output may be roughly 100 times less than bright sunlight. It may be 200
to 500 times less with fluorescent lighting due to the further limited spectrum.
