Abound Solar manufacturers thin–film photovoltaic modules in our large–scale production facility in Longmont, CO. Using a proprietary process, we are able to produce millions of modules per year at industry leading low costs.

The facility is fully integrated, converting glass and semiconductor materials into complete modules beneath its roof. This enables tighter quality control and reduces waste. At capacity, a glass panel will enter the factory every 10 seconds and emerge as a completed module two hours later.

Unlike other manufacturers of thin–film modules, Abound Solar’s process is fully automated, continuous, and utilizes dry deposition. This results in higher throughput, lower costs, and tighter process specifications.

Production

Company Background

From our corporate and manufacturing headquarters in Colorado, Abound Solar (formerly known as AVA Solar) is producing the next generation of thin-film cadmium telluride solar modules ideally suited for large- and utility-scale commercial installations.

We believe we can transform the way energy is generated, and improve the health of our planet, while brightening the lives of people around the globe by ensuring a supply of clean, competitive, and renewable energy.

Abound Solar is committed to reducing the cost of solar electricity to levels competitive with fossil fuels. Our solar modules are manufactured using a proprietary semiconductor deposition process that enables lower cost, higher performance and greater production efficiency than comparable solar products.

We have long–term supply contracts in place with vendors and customers to support multiple gigawatts of production.
