The Soliant assets acquired by Emcore include the equipment, inventory, software, licenses, intellectual property and tooling for the rooftop solar energy product line.

Emcore plans to integrate the former Soliant research and development and pilot production line into its existing facilities located in Alhambra in the US state of California.

The commercial manufacturing operation is expected to be transferd to Emcore’s China-based manufacturing joint venture, Suncore.

The acquisition was completed as part of an assignment for the benefit of creditors process, and Emcore did not assume any liabilities of Soliant.

Soliant Energy is a developer of concentrated photovoltaic systems for commercial rooftop applications.
