| HelioVolt named Member Company of the Year by TREIA At Texas Renewables '05 conference in Houston HelioVolt Corporation will be named Member Company of the Year by Texas Renewable Energy Industries Association. TREIA will recognize HelioVolt for its advances in the commercialization of copper indium gallium selenide-based photovoltaics (CIGS) and HelioVolt's exceptional efforts towards the advancement of renewable energy industries in Texas. HelioVolt has invented fast and efficient way to manufacture thin film photovoltaic platforms surfaced with CIGS, reliable and best-performing thin film material for generating electricity from sunlight. HelioVolt plans to partner with building materials manufacturers to incorporate its attractive, high-performance thin-film solar technology directly into building materials including: metal and polymer roofing, skylights, and architectural glass. Their patented FASST technology can apply CIGS coatings in a way that will enable architects and contractors to use a building's "skin" to self-power it. Use of this new breed of construction materials transforms building exteriors into solar-powered electrical generating systems that reduce the buildings operating costs, and can also be configured to provide back-up power. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
