EPVSOLAR Inc. (EPV) is a solar energy company that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets low-cost amorphous silicon ('a-Si') thin-film photovoltaic ('PV') solar modules for the growing international renewable energy market. Located near Princeton, New Jersey, USA, EPV is a privately owned company that has been at the forefront of research, development, and commercialization of thin-film PV technologies since 1991 when it was founded by pioneers in the solar industry. EPV produces solar modules using proprietary manufacturing equipment-the EPV Integrated Manufacturing System ('IMS'), which is based on EPV's commercially proven batch manufacturing process. EPV plans joint ventures based on the IMS capability to expand capacity at manufacturing locations throughout the world. The joint ventures will work to aggressively increase market share in these emerging markets. In advancing amorphous silicon thin-film technology, EPV recognizes that there exists a growing interest in the cost of energy per kilowatt hour of production. EPV has focused on the development of thin-film modules to produce PV modules that generate solar electricity at the lowest possible price per kilowatt-hour. Among other positive attributes, amorphous silicon modules generate more electricity per unit of installed capacity than do crystalline silicon modules, leading to lower electricity generating costs and superior economics for many applications. EPV currently offers amorphous silicon thin film modules of several varieties based upon proprietary manufacturing technology with specially designed equipment for the production of high quality, low cost, modules. The modules can be used in applications such as remote and grid-tied power stations, as well as for building integration (BIPV) and consumer and industrial electronic products. Its scientists and engineers have experience with the design and construction of fourteen thin-film PV manufacturing facilities throughout the world. EPV Solar, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
