Innovalight Inks Motech
Innovalight is on a roll. The VC-funded firm has developed a solar ink that boosts theperformance of crystalline silicon solar cells. They’ve signed a series of deals to sell their efficiency-boosting material to a growing listof China-based crystalline silicon cell and module firms. This morning, the firm announced yet another customer — Taiwan’s Motech. Motech [...]
Innovalight Opens Office In China
Innovalight Inc., a manufacturer of silicon ink and solar cell process technology, saysit has opened a sales and support office in Shanghai, China. Theoffice will handle sales and technical support for Innovalight’scustomers throughout China and will be managed by Raymond Meng,Innovalight’s recently appointed sales director for China. "Weare expanding our presence in China and need [...]
Innovalight to Double Silicon Ink Efficiency
Innovalight boasts that it will be able to double the solar potency of itsnanocrystalline silicon ink as soon as next year. By 2012, additional improvements should push the efficiency of amainstream crystalline solar cell using the ink to above 20 percent. Conrad Burke, chief executive of the Sunnyvale, CA company, said thecompany’s silicon ink today [...]
JA Solar Partners With Innovalight $JASO
JA Solar (JASO) cemented its partnership with Innovalight of California today, signing a 3year supply agreement for silicon nanoparticle ink which is a keycomponent in JA Solar’s new SECIUM high efficiency solar cells which are expected to move into volumeproduction very soon. JASO has been able to achieve efficiency rates of 18.9% and the two [...]
Innovalight Grabs Record with Silicon Ink Solar Cells
Innovalight, a privately-held firm selling a platform of siliconink-based high efficiency solar cell materials and technology, announced that the company has achieved a new record of 19 percent conversionefficiency with silicon ink processed solar cells. The conversionefficiency of a solar cell is the proportion of sunlight energy that acell converts to electrical energy. The Fraunhofer [...]
Innovalight Raises $18 Million for Solar Inks
Innovalight,a solar start-up based in Sunnyvale California, has been relativelyquiet since its founding in 2002. But they just won $18 million intheir Round D of venture funding and are starting to be morecommunicative. I spoke with Conrad Burke, the CEO. Innovalighthas developed a silicon ink — "perfectly crystalline silicon particles5nm in size" in an ink-like [...]
Innovalight Reaches 18% Efficiency For Silicon Ink Cells
Innovalight,which makes solar cells by printing what it calls "silicon ink," saidTuesday its cells can convert 18 percent of sunlight that his them intoelectricity. Both the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the FraunhoferInstitute for Solar Energy Systems verified the cells’ efficiency,Innovalight said. Innovalight’s cells came from its 10-megawattproduction line it installed earlier this year, a [...]
Innovalight, OTB Solar Install Silicon Ink Production System
Innovalight Inc. says it has installed the world’s firsthigh-throughput industrial silicon-ink inkjet printing system at thecompany’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. The printing system wasengineered and manufactured by OTB Solar in cooperation withInnovalight. Using high-precision, touchless inkjet printing ofsilicon ink, Innovalight says it can halve the number of manufacturingsteps required to produce high-efficiency solar cells. In [...]
