Advent Solar is a leader in the design and manufacturing of silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) solar cells and modules. Our leading-edge Advent Solar^® Ventura™ Technology provides the blueprint for high-performance solar modules that deliver the industry’s best value for silicon PV modules. Advent Solar solutions offer the industry’s only comprehensive cell-to-module architectural approach that is scalable to silicon types and amenable to highly automated semiconductor-like manufacturing.  Advent Solar’s unique approach enables higher value at many levels, to shift solar from an “alternative” to a mainstream energy source.

At Advent Solar, our mission is to deliver the best valued silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules. With patented, advanced technologies we develop industry leading products that are Beautiful by Design™, delivering higher value and changing the rules for grid parity economics.

Conventional photovoltaic manufacturing is severely limited by antiquated manufacturing constraints, both at the cell and module levels. Improvements in conventional photovoltaic technologies have become increasingly marginal while, simultaneously, the market demands from these products have increased.

Only technologies that break free of conventional thinking can hope to move past these limiting paradigms and move solar technology towards viable grid parity solutions. Advent Solar® Ventura™ Technology is just such a solution.

Ventura Technology serves as a new blueprint for next generation solar solutions. Read more...

Advent Solar has developed the Solar Green Index, a measurable benchmark for assessing the efficiency and value of silicon PV architectures from a system perspective. Key factors in this index include the ratio of module efficiency to cell efficiency and a manufacturing precision factor – the higher the index, the better the delivered value.

Peter Green, Advent Solar president and CEO, has challenged his company to lead the way in advancing the Solar Green Index. Advent Solar Ventura technology is the world's only comprehensive cell-to-module architecture designed from the ground up to help boost the Solar Green Index.
