CaliSolar is a photovoltaic (PV) company that designs, patents, manufactures and markets solar cells in high volumes for the largest segments of the PV industry. The company's break-through patent-pending technologies will enable it to fabricate mass-market solar cells at the industry's lowest costs. By leveraging its proprietary process technologies, CaliSolar will achieve competitive advantages in feedstock costs, wafer yields and labor savings as well as solar cell efficiency. CaliSolar is implementing new technological developments (“dirty Si”) at both ingot and cell levels that allow the use of metallurgical instead of emiconductor grade Si for significant cost reduction and rapid expansion in production capacity.«Less

| Description: | Calisolar has developed innovative technology that enables us to achieve high performance and quality but without the high cost of using electronic grade silicon feedstock originally designed for semiconductor applications. This requires a comprehensive approach and innovative process techniques to convert silicon into solar cells. Over the past four years we have invented new technologies used in the silicon purification, crystalization, ingot, wafering, and cell processes that we are now able to leverage for high-volume manufacturing. |
