JDSU said it will leverage multiple quantum well technology from QuantaSol for its CPV cell product platform.

MQW technology allows more light to be converted to electrical power by raising the efficiency of CPV cells, the most important metric in the solar industry.

Over the next six months, JDSU intends to transfer key assets from QuantaSol to the JDSU headquarters in California, US.

JDSU CCOP unit Alan Lowe said the CPV market is gaining momentum with major installations happening worldwide.

"Incorporating key QuantaSol technology will allow us to further differentiate our products and expand our position in the CPV solar market as popularity for CPV continues to grow," Alan Lowe said.
