Solar Needs Brain Power

The solar industry is ripe for the support of the equipment and materials supply chain to drive down the cost of photovoltaic (PV) technology, said Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).

“Much of this forecasted growth depends on lower costs, and that depends on such things as deposition tools with better yields and higher throughput, economical slicing and handling tools for thinner wafers, better coating materials and lower cost polysilicon,” Resch said in a recent statement.
