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
