“Contrary to common belief, commercialization of renewable energy technologies such as BioSolar’s BioBacksheet is quite complex and requires both a comprehensive understanding and analysis of its potential, as well as the development of innovative models to help it gain market penetration,” said David Lee, chief executive energy of BioSolar.
“BioSolar is nearing completion of the commercialization process, and we continue our mission to develop new products that utilize our proprietary manufacturing and materials process to enhance the characteristics of traditional bio-based materials and turn them into robust and durable materials for solar applications,” said Lee.
BioSolar recently announced its plans to expand the company’s technology to accommodate copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film modules, as reported by Doris DeGuzman, the associate editor for ICIS Chemical Business, a global chemical trade magazine on her blog, Green Chemicals, in The Industry Standard and in Power Management Design Line Europe, an EE Times Europe publication. Just recently, EarthToys.com, the online alternative energy magazine, drew attention to BioSolar by detailing a recent press release on their website.
“Today, BioSolar is pleased to announce that two BioSolar products are currently in the Pre-Production stage and nearing qualification for full production,” said Lee. “The BioBackSheet-L, an enhanced performance backsheet for demanding PV applications, is nearing qualification for production and the BioBackSheet-C, designed for cost sensitive, economical PV modules, is making excellent progress in pre-production development and testing.”
“BioBackSheet-A with ‘Absolute Moisture Barrier’ is also doing well in the late research and development stage,” said BioSolar chief technology officer Stanley Levy. “We will continue to provide more information in the future as the product continues to evolve.”
