Silevo a Featured Speaker and Exhibitor at SNEC PV Power Expo 2012

Silevo to Present New Cell Design with Greater Than 20 Percent Efficiency

 FREMONT, Calif. — May 14, 2012—Silevo, Inc., a solar cell innovator and photovoltaic solar module manufacturer, today announced that it will be a featured presenter on a new crystalline cell concept that enables greater than 20 percent efficiency without silver at SNEC PV Power Expo 2012, taking place May 16-18 in Shanghai, China. SNEC PV Power Expo is globally recognized as Asia’s largest annual photovoltaic technology event that attracts solar industry professionals from the entire supply chain.

Who: Christopher Beitel, vice president of business development and marketing, Silevo

What: A Greater Than 20 Percent Efficient Crystalline Cell Design Without Silver, a presentation in PHOTON’s Solar Terawatt-hours Conference Series that will showcase China’s highest efficiency modules

Where: Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel, No. 1108, Meihua Road, Pudong, Shanghai, 201204

 When: Thursday, May 17, 2012, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST

Please visit Silevo at Hall E7, booth #260 (E7-260) to experience Silevo’s proprietary Triex™ technology, which evolves silicon-based PV as the first hybrid solar solution to combine high-performance crystalline silicon N-type substrates, thin-film passivation layers, and a unique tunneling oxide layer – all in a single solar module. Powered by breakthrough “tunneling junction” architecture, these three materials together enable the Triex module to deliver high efficiency, competitive module costs and optimal energy harvest. Based on these criteria, Silevo offers the industry’s leading system cost value.

About Silevo, Inc.

Silevo, Inc., formerly known as Sierra Solar Power, was founded on the principal that technical innovation can evolve silicon-based cells and modules to both increase performance and lower costs.

Juwi’s data from their projects showed that the CdTe panels garnered higher energy harvest which effectively translated to 2 pts of efficiency. Silevo’s low temperature coefficients will garner these same benefits.
