Dr. B.J. Stanbery has achieved an illustrious career spanning more than
28 years in the solar industry. He is an expert in the business and
science of photovoltaic materials. In 2005, he won international
recognition for his theoretical model of CIGS. Representing his ongoing
commitment to understanding the device physics behind this thin-film
material, his Intra-Absorber Junction (IAJ) model revealed that CIGS’s
inherent physical properties make it one of nature’s best solar
materials. He founded HelioVolt to develop and commercialize his
groundbreaking FASST™ process for applying CIGS thin-film photovoltaics
directly onto conventional construction materials. Prior, Dr. Stanbery
managed Boeing’s terrestrial PV program. During his 17-year tenure, his
accomplishments included registering seven patents in thin-film PV
technology and successfully manufacturing and deploying PV for
spacecraft. In 1990, he achieved the world record in multi-junction
thin-film efficiency, a distinction he still holds today. Dr. Stanbery
completed his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 2001 from the University
of Florida, having previously obtained an M.S. in Physics from the
University of Washington and a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the
University of Texas.
