Today's pick: EMKR
In August 2007, EMCORE announced that it obtained 39% peak conversion efficiency under 1000x concentration on its terrestrial concentrating solar cell products currently in volume production. This compares favorably to typical efficiency of 15-21% on silicon-based solar cells and average 35% efficiency for competing multi-junction cells. The company is in discussions to set up a manufacturing plant in the area to supply the local demand as volume ramps up. EMCORE's continued investment in high-efficiency CPV systems for utility-scale photovoltaic power systems will enable the development of a new alternative energy resource worldwide.
