Scope and Content Note
Series VI. Solar Energy Systems, Inc. (SES)
Extent: 37 linear ft. (Boxes 55 – 91, 148)
Dates: 1970-1981
Contents: Contracts, drawings, financial papers, general files, journal articles, patents, proposals, publications, reports, specifications, tests, and solar cell modules. Arrangement: Two subseries: Administrative Files and Production Files, with functional subseries. File numbering begins anew with each subseries.Description:
Series VI. comprises materials related to Solar Energy Systems, Inc. (SES). Founded in July 1972 in cooperation with the University of Delaware and the IEC (see Series II), SES was organized to develop and market inexpensive solar energy cells for domestic and commercial use. Karl Böer served as the company’s chief scientist (1975-1985) and as chairman of the board (1972-1981). Unique to this series are artifactual samples of the prototype modules for the solar cells manufactured by SES.
Series VI.A. Administrative contains the administrative files of SES and is divided into five sub-series: Series VI.A.1. General comprises the general administrative files of SES. The sub-series includes correspondence, meeting minutes, personnel information, reports, and other materials. The meeting minutes of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors cover the period of 1974-1979.
Series VI.A.2. Financial includes business plans, financial statements, and stock sale proposals for SES. Much material related to the formation of SES may be found in this section.
Series VI.A.3. Legal includes agreements, contracts, correspondence, the certificate of incorporation, and other miscellaneous materials related to the legal identity of SES. The agreements and contracts between SES and the University of Delaware, Shell, and other solar energy entities reveal the working relationships that existed between these organizations.
Series VI.A.4. Marketing contains a small number of items related to the company’s advertising efforts. Series
VI.B. Production and Product Files consists of materials related to the research, development, creation, and performance of SES products from the planning stages through production.
Series VI.B.1. Research and Development comprises files related to SES and Böer’s research and development in the field of solar energy conversion. It is sub-divided in two: Series VI.B.1.a. General contains reports, plans, and other documents related to SES company’s R & D projects. Series VI.B.1.b. Reference Materials is a collection of journal articles, research reports by other organizations, and various publications gathered by Böer and SES for reference and research in solar energy and photovoltaics.
Series VI.B.2. Specifications contains numbered process and engineering specifications for the creation and implementation of various SES products.
Series VI.B.3. Drawings and Projects comprises drawings labeled by number, project name, or contractor’s name. The subseries also includes other documentary material related to certain drawings and projects.
Series VI.B.4. Acceleration Physics Tests contains test results and data labeled by test name and number. An index to all tests and some related specifications for arrays and mounts (hardware & equipment) is included. The series is organized according to the index that accompanies these materials.
Series VI.B.5. Patents consists of patent information and documents for SES products and processes. The series is organized according to the original order of the materials, which are loosely grouped by the individual patent. Series
VI.B.6. IEC Reports consists of research, technical, and progress reports generated by IEC as a contractor for SES. This series is organized alphabetically according to the title of the IEC report.
Series VI.B.7. Prototype Solar Cell Modules includes 15 samples of the 8-inch square SES Cadmium Sulfide solar cells and a notebook containing various strata of the product. As explained in a Solar One brochure, the CdS cell is composed of four basic parts. 1) A metal foil substrate forms the base upon which 2) cadmium sulfide is vacumm evaporated as a thin film. 3) A layer of copper sulfide (Cu2S) is electroplated onto the CdS (both films together are thinner than a human hair). A metal grid is then placed on top of the first three. Light passes through the metal grid and activates a current flow in the film sandwich, which can be picked up through the two electrodes. Plastic material is laminated on the entire cell to encapsulate it for protection.
