Solar support molding equipment manufacturing plant

How does solar plastic molding work?

Our solar plastic molding systems use free solar heat from heliostats to make plastic parts, instead of expensive fossil fuel. Our Solar Rotational Molding (SRM®) factories are complete systems – just add molds and plastic. Energy for mold rotation is supplied by integrated photovoltaic panels.

What is solar rotational molding?

LightManufacturing’s patented Solar Rotational Molding (SRM™) systems use heat from the sun to safely mold useful products like water tanks . By eliminating the need to burn fossil fuel we make the molding process much cleaner and lower-cost. Zero greenhouse gas emissions, no particulate pollution, no carbon monoxide.

What metal is used in solar cells?

Most metal contacts in photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are made with silver, which is a high-priced, high-demand metal. Bert Thin Films received an award from DOE's Solar Energy Technologies Office to develop a copper paste that can replace silver and be easily added into the manufacturing lines of solar companies.
