temperature coefficient.
SOLAR POWER
The EMCORE Soliant 1000 delivers smart energy
EMCORE’s Soliant 1000 delivers the most powerful, reliable and cost-effective solar
solution for commercial rooftops with high-energy demands and limited space. Critical
peak-hour energy output stays strong with EMCORE’s patent-pending TipTilt
TrackingTM dual-axis
technology. The Soliant 1000
gives you unsurpassed energy
output, long-term reliability and
the lowest cost of energy.
Lowest cost of energy.
Because the Soliant 1000 gives
you much more energy output,
you get the lowest cost of
energy on the market.
Take control of your
energy costs
Low installation cost. Save
even more money with 60%
fewer panels, 60% more watts
per string, and 60% fewer DC
strings.**
Maintenance-free tracking
components. Get 25+ years
life with EMCORE’s smart,
reliable, robust design.
Low wind profile. Save
construction costs with the
Soliant 1000’s low wind profile
design offering reduced lift and
drag.
* Compared to conventional thin film PV.
** Compared to conventional PV.
TipTilt TrackingTM precision gives you the lowest cost of
energy and the highest energy output per area.
EMCORE’s reliable,
field-proven materials and
components are efficient,
compact and lightweight.
Installed less than 2 feet tall,
the Soliant 1000 generates
more than 500 watts peak with
EMCORE’s proprietary highpowered receiver and Fresnel
lens. And EMCORE’s TipTilt
TrackingTM system tracks the
sun’s movement throughout the
day within 1/10 of one-degree
precision.
EMCORE’s reliable
peak-hour performance
is unsurpassed. The
Soliant 1000 continues to
generate power during
crucial afternoon peak
hours while other
systems lose power.
