The company develops hybrid solar cell technology that adapts manufacturing processes from the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry to produce CIGS solar cells deposited onto stainless steel substrate with pseudo square configuration which it believes can replace traditional silicon wafer solar cells.
Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, said: “With this completed sample, we have reached a critical milestone in our development process, achieved through the vigilant efforts of our engineers and trusted business partner. This initial achievement illustrates a realistic set of company goals and demonstrates the strength of our relationships with the business and technical expertise that kept us on track.”
In addition to being sized to match with existing HDD manufacturing processes, XsunX’s TFPV manufacturing techniques will produce an appropriately cell that can be used on existing solar module production lines by manufacturers looking for a direct substitute for increasingly controversial silicon cells.
The company said that in the next development stage, it will be evaluating technical data concerning performance, conversion efficiency to continue to fine-tune each cell layer based on input collected from small-area devices, and to perfect its engineering designs.
