Solaicx has developed breakthrough manufacturing technology yielding low-cost, high-efficiency silicon wafers for the photovoltaic (PV) industry. Solaicx offers significant competitive advantages, in both cost and quality, which are then passed through the value chain of the entire silicon-based solar cell manufacturing market.
The solar market is currently growing by 35 percent per year. The Solaicx system is designed for very high volume materials handling, unlike the silicon wafers produced in the traditional precision semiconductor manufacturing process This ensures far better utilization of raw silicon feedstock at a significantly lower cost . Our process focuses solely on the specific needs of photovoltaic customers allowing the company to optimize its system's configurations and performance to flexibly produce final wafer product within sharply reduced cycle times. Furthermore, the enhanced electrical performance of each Solaicx wafer allows solar cell manufacturers to create higher efficiency cells without any material increase in wafer cost, thereby ultimately reducing the overall cost of solar electricity for the end user.
Solaicx's advanced team of photovoltaic industry pioneers and semiconductor wafer manufacturing experts collectively possess over 250 years of experience and offer the company a unique competitive advantages in terms of technological advancement and real world commercialization expertise. This competitive advantage helps our customers, suppliers, end users and government partners in meeting the needs of the rapidly expanding global alternative energy market.
