Solar module maker Telecomps to use XsunX’s CIGSolar cells

XsunX Inc of Aliso Viejo, CA, USA, which is developing thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) copper indium gallium (di) selenide (CIGS)-based solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes, says that it has entered into an agreement with Telecomps Technology Corp Ltd (Telecomps) for the use of its CIGSolar technology. The firms will work together to complete back-end CIGSolar solar module assembly capabilities to produce solar modules using XsunX CIGSolar cells.

"This is a great opportunity for both companies. Telecomps' growing capabilities in the module assembly business will provide us a head start and will help accelerate the adoption of our CIGSolar technology in the rapidly growing Chinese market," said XsunX's president and COO, Joseph Grimes. "We have targeted the silicon module manufacturing industry as a major customer segment and, with the assistance of Telecomps providing competitive OEM module assembly, we are positioning XsunX customers for success as they compete in the $18 billion silicon solar cell industry. In addition to Telecomps a number of other manufacturers are now seriously exploring the use of our CIGSolar technology as a robust and less expensive alternative to silicon."
