Frequently Asked Question: What’s your stock symbol? How can I invest?
By Martin Roscheisen, CEO - October 30, 2007A few words to answer this very frequently asked question:
We are presently a private company and therefore have no stock symbol and no shares available for purchase by the public. In fact, in the past, we have very carefully controlled our selection of investors, and it has been very good for us as a company to work with such a distinguished group of long-term committed stakeholders.
We are planning to be a public company one day but at this time we do not think we have yet earned the privilege to be a public company.
In general, note that silicon cell manufacturers (whether based on crystalline silicon or equally capital-intense vacuum-deposited silicon thin films) require so much capital per megawatt (MW) of production capacity that they have to go public as quickly as they can. Nanosolar is different: Our technology is extremely capital efficient and has a comparatively low cost structure.
