Solaria is a privately held solar technology company based in Silicon Valley. Applying
our extensive expertise in the optics and semiconductor industries, we develop breakthrough innovations that make solar
cell and module production more efficient, thereby providing the cost savings that will ultimately allow solar energy to
compete successfully on the world market.
Silicon is the immediate future of solar energy, but currently it is both costly and in limited supply.
Rather than seeking unproven alternatives, we’ve taken a practical approach to the problem, integrating
with the existing PV supply chain to optimize silicon utilization. Our technology thus delivers crucial
capacity growth that is low risk, easily scalable and ready for rapid adoption. As the industry progresses,
Solaria technology has the flexibility to extend to future applications and products.
Solaria is working with several leading solar cell and module manufacturers, systems integrators, and
semiconductor equipment and automation vendors to commercialize our technology. We are currently in pilot
production, with plans to reach high-volume capacity in 2008.
