At Nanosolar, our mission is to reinvent the design and manufacturing of photovoltaics to create the lowest cost solar cell and panel. To that end, we persistently pursue innovation and refuse to accept the limitations of existing approaches and practices.
We hope the following information offers a preview into how our innovative and new solar technology will impact the trillion-dollar energy market.

Printing Solar Cells
The holy grail of solar cost and capital efficiency is to deposit a thin film of a semiconductor using a printing process—far faster than conventional high-vacuum deposition—and to create an efficient, durable solar cell.
Our team has accomplished this by leveraging recent advances in nanoscience and by creating novel forms of nanoparticles dispersed into our proprietary ink formulation.
The result is that we can now apply equipment from the printing industry to produce solar-electric foil at very high speeds, bringing the economics of printing to the world of semiconductor manufacturing.
Assembling Panels
Our process and tooling innovations span almost every step in the production of solar cells and panels, including far faster assembly of solar panels.
Applying the latest in robotics—primarily from the automotive industry—and even reinventing lamination tooling enables us to assemble cells into panels with high throughput and the highest quality.
