AVANCIS: The avant-garde of photovoltaics

As a manufacturer of premium-class CIS solar modules, AVANCIS offers extremely high standards of quality, performance and durability: That’s everything an investor in utility-scale projects is looking for.

The first manufacturer of CIS photovoltaic modules

Since the early 1980s we have been pioneering research into high-performance solar modules with our scientists. As a pioneer of CIS technology, we were the first company in the world to start commercial series production of CIS solar modules. Today, AVANCIS is the most experienced researcher and producer of CIS solar modules in the world. With our innovative history and our multiple world efficiency records, we are extremely proud of a track record that is clear for all to see, with numerous references in the field of photovoltaics. As a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, the world leader in the habitat and construction markets, we are part of a trustworthy corporation and are sure to keep on growing.

PowerMax^® – advanced solar modules

The successful AVANCIS brand is well known on the market under the name PowerMax^®. Under this umbrella brand, all of our product lines are brought together and have one very important thing in common: an extremely high energy yield (kWh per kWp), which is possible due to broad spectral sensitivity, excellent low light performance and a low temperature coefficient. All PowerMax^® modules not only meet the highest technological and aesthetic requirements, they are also among the most economical on the market. The basis for this success is our fully integrated industrial production process with production sites in Germany and South Korea.

Simply smart: PowerMax^® SMART for open spaces

Our new PowerMax^® SMART modules were specifically developed for use in open spaces: frameless CIS solar modules that use an intelligent mounting profile of two steel backrails allowing fast, simple and safe installation. The rear ventilation and cooling of the frameless modules continually optimizes the initial high energy yield. With this new product line AVANCIS offers the perfect solution for utility-scale solar plants. For more information feel free to contact us.
