The Worlds Most Powerful Solar Panel

Rainbow Solar unveils the world's most powerful commercial solar panel at the GoGreen EXPO (Los Angeles). The DSO SUPER-PV, a 60-cell, standard-size, mono-crystalline photovoltaic-module with a 350 watt-OUTPUT rating, an incredible 160 to 200% power-output over industry's top 220 watt-peak modules.

2009 Production capacity of 120 megawatts, at conventional Photovoltaic pricing. RSi believes this will become the standard for all future photovoltaic systems. RSi plans to license the SUPER-PV technology to PV and module companies globally.

DSO is working with LEED-AP and AIA professionals to realize 'self-powered-buildings' (SPB), by converting the entire building surface into an energy-collector, utilizing advanced technologies such as the PV-Glass-Window and SUPER-PV.

DSO, the BIPV division of RSi, is dedicated to the realization of a gridless future, where power will be embedded into buildings and freely accessible, like air - wherever there is sunlight, there will be power.

Self-Powered-Buildings
Polycrystalline is the most proven Photovoltaic (PV) technology (16%+/- efficiency) but suffers from low-light and high temperature degradation, resulting in 20%+ lower energy output than the rated level (watt-peak).

ThinFilm PV performs better under low-light conditions but with much lower efficiency (4 to 10%).

The RSi SUPER-PV uses a proprietary technology developed for Grid-class applications, to generate more overall total power output, not just pushing marginal watt-peak.

The first production-model documented a whopping 350 watt-output - 160% the power-output of today's top 220 watt modules.

Benefits
+ SPS (solar-power-station) applications - increased FiT (feed-in-tariff) revenues by increasing total power-output.

+ BIPV - delivers the extra power needed to realize totally power-independent buildings.
