Solar Frontier

Solar Frontier Kabushiki Kaisha is a photovoltaic company that develops and manufactures thin film solar cells using CIGS technology. It is a fully owned subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu and located in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The company was founded in 2006 as Showa Shell Solar, and renamed Solar Frontier in April 2010.

Background

Solar Frontier's parent company Showa Shell Sekiyu had been involved with solar energy since 1978. Production on a commercial scale of crystalline silicon modules for solar cells began in 1983, and research on CIS technology began in 1993.

Manufacturing plants

Solar Frontier has manufacturing plants in Miyazaki Prefecture, where it develops and manufactures CIS solar panels, that combine CIGS and CIGSe materials. The company emphazises the fact that it uses neither cadmium (Cd) nor lead (Pb) for its cells.CIGS technology often uses a thin (< 50 nm) CdS buffer layer, and the semiconductor material of rival CdTe-technology itself contains the toxic cadmium (Cd), while conventional crystalline silicon modules use a lead-containing solder material.
