Innovalight has developed a portfolio of patented technologies and materials that allow crystalline silicon cell manufacturers to produce solar cells with higher conversion efficiencies.

The value chain for crystalline silicon solar systems is long. It starts with polysilicon production and ends with module installation with multiple steps in between. The most technologically advanced portion of the value chain is the production of solar cells – a semiconductor device that converts photons from the sun into electrical current. Improving the photon to electron conversion efficiency by just one percent absolute can drive the cost of solar energy down by six percent, making it the most important parameter to reduce the cost of solar energy. Innovalight’s central focus is on improving this solar cell conversion efficiency.

Innovalight’s development approach is unique. It combines the efficiency focus of leading research institutes with the mindset of high volume solar cell manufacturers. By developing platforms on high volume production tools and having a culture that focuses only on cost effective efficiency improvement solutions, Innovalight offers cell manufacturers easy-to-implement solutions to improve their profitability.
