Our VisionA PV System People Everywhere Can Afford
Will Change the World!
Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells are the Model T. We are the Mustang, the sports cars…
99% of PVs in market are based on planar p-n junction. We will change it to <50%.
PV State of the Art
c-Si: Energy intensive processes Low prices due to massive production expansion Not competitive without incentives (don’t forget that)
Planar p-n junction: c-Si, CdTe, CIGS Dominates market (99%) Stringent requirements: large crystals (mono, poly) Technically difficult Theoretically not the most efficient way
Our Differentiations
Nano-architecture replaces crystalline absorber 3D p-n BHJ replaces 2D planar p-n junction Thin foil replaces wafer, glass substrates Low temperature grown nanocrystalline films Enable truly low cost processing in massive scale Lead to lightweight, flexible, tough, low cost, high
efficiency solar cells
All Because of a New Discovery
All inorganic, nanostructured p-n BHJ leads to: Spatial separation of electrons and holes Minimum recombination loss High performances as good as large crystals
Market Opportunity
There is no large scale production of flexible PV We will make a PV system that everybody like Simple, easy, safe, reliable to install and use Bankers will jump in; you will own the system. Put it on roof, tent, or architecture in backyard

*4th year of startup. 300 MW/y plant will start in 5th year, then more.
Competition
We have a perfect combination of: low cost, high efficiency, and form factor Mature, solution based processes Massive production scale Our low cost will be hard to beat
Current flexible PV panels:CIGS: expensive, limited production Dow Solar/NuvoSun, Hanergy/MiaSole, Flisoma-Si: low efficiency, phasing out of market Hanergy
p-n BHJ Applications Besides Solar Cells:a Platform for Optoelectronics
Photodetectors, sensors, LEDs Hardware for internet of things Smart homes, smart cities Maybe a lot more
