Silevo was founded the summer of 2007 in the heart of Silicon Valley by a pair of executive innovators from Applied Materials, Inc. Dr. Zheng Xu and Dr. Jianming Fu envisioned a new hybrid solar cell technology that would combine the best attributes of crystalline silicon, thin film and semiconductor CMOS device architectures and materials to achieve the highest performance efficiencies and temperature In its U.S. headquarters in Fremont, CA, pilot production scale is currently manufacturing Triex cells that demonstrate between 20 – 21% conversion efficiency on full-size substrates with proven production and economical materials. Furthermore, the Triex technology roadmap shows headroom to enable up to 24% conversion efficiency in commercial products.
