DayStar Releases White Paper on CIGS-based PV Foil

0 Comments | Renewable Energy Today, August 29, 2005

DayStar Technologies, Inc. recently announced that it has posted a white paper on its website that details how the company's CIGS solar cell technology on flexible metal substrates can be scaled up to allow for large-volume production and offer an alternative to conventional solar cells based on silicon wafers.

According to DayStar, the paper describes a continuous inline manufacturing process that will allow CIGS-based Photovoltaic Foil to be produced on a gigawatt scale. The paper estimates efficiencies and economies of scale could drive production costs down to about $1 per watt.

DayStar noted that the paper was presented by CEO John Tuttle at the recent 20th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. The paper is available online at http://www.daystartech.com/gigawatt.> Contact: DayStar, http://www.daystartech.com.
