Global Solar Energy Supplies: Pushing the Envelope of Portable Solar Energy

It's amazing how far solar technology has progressed over the last twenty years. The idea of solar energy used to instantly conjure up images of giant bulky collectors spread across the landscape, trying to suck up every last bit of energy before the sun went down and shut them all off. Fast forward to today, where in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, a geologist notices the battery on the satellite phone is dying, and he connects a small solar battery re-charger right to it, and waits twenty minutes until the battery is completely charged.

Global Solar Energy Supplies is especially into the cutting edge use of solar technology, and likes to concentrate on making more powerful solar cells even as the size, bulk, and weight of them shrink to make them a far more convenient size.

Global Solar Energy Supplies was founded in 1996, and has continued to be a major player in the world of solar energy and in the advancement of solar collection technologies. They were initially known mostly as a top producer of very thin filmed solar cells make from photovoltaic "Copper Indium Gallium DiSelenide" (CIGS) solar cells. These CIGS cells were very well thought of for their efficiency and advanced design.

Now this American based company is the leader in CIGS solar cell production. Global Solar uses the "thin-film" solar technology on nearly every product they make from portable solar chargers that are small, easy to carry, yet powerful - to the solar glass modules that are produced here for larger products.

Global Solar Energy Supplies will continue to push solar technology to be smaller and more efficient, and in doing so are sure to remain major players in the solar energy scene. This is a solar manufacturer that concentrates on the practicality as well as the solar technology, keeping them a favorite among other businesses reliant on solar energy.
