Solaris Nanosciences is developing solutions for the rapidly expanding global solar energy market expected to exceed $18 Billion by 2010. Solaris has proprietary and patented approaches for dramatically lowering the cost of solar panels and improving the efficiency of photovoltaics. Our proven and validated process for recharging of low manufacturing cost dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) eliminates the existing lifetime limitations of these photovoltaics, allowing them to function beyond the lifetime of current silicon technology.
Solaris' primary mission is to provide low manufacturing cost, high efficiency and long life solar cells to capture a major portion of the projected growth of the global renewable energy market. Equity financing and Company resources are used exclusively towards this goal. However, since Solaris' NanoAntennaTM materials present a number of other large market opportunities which are validated in part by the development of high efficiency photovoltaics, we have begun to pursue these other applications through externally funded collaborations, contracts, and agreements.
