Solar3D, Inc. (SLTD.OB) to Produce 3-D Solar Cell Using Low Cost Semiconductor Processes
Yesterday, Solar3D, Inc. announced that their 3-D Solar Cell design would take advantage of low cost semiconductor processes to enable mass production. The Company’s innovative solar cell technology utilizes a 3-dimensional design to trap sunlight inside micro-photovoltaic structures where photons bounce around until they convert into electrons. Light management techniques used in fiber optic devices inspired this technology. Solar3D, Inc.’s management believes that this breakthrough solar cell design will dramatically change solar energy economics. Mr. Jim Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Solar3D, Inc., commented, “In the solar industry, it is not enough to have high efficiency, you must also be…
