Hallo,

ich beim Surfen auf diese Fa. gestossen, kennt die jemand?

April 5, 2006 Solar Energy’s HelioVolt Short-listed as a Finalist for the “Red Herring 100 North America ” Awards

Next Generation Solar Power
HelioVolt has developed the fastest and most effective way to manufacture CIS (Copper Indium Selenide), the most reliable and best-performing thin film material for generating electricity from sunlight. HelioVolt\'s FASST™ technology can apply efficient CIS coatings in custom shapes, sizes, and tints to create power generating glass, steel, metal and polymers, making possible a new generation of solar power modules and photovoltaic construction materials.


Billige Solarzellen für den Hausbau
CIGS-Dünnschichtsolarzellen sollen in Zukunft die Energieversorgung revolutionieren. Ein US-Start-up will mit diesen kostengünstigen Solarzellen ganze Häuser zu kleinen "Kraftwerken" umrüsten.
Die US-Firma Heliovolt will mit einer Außenhaut aus Solarzellen die Versorgung von Häusern mit Energie sicherstellen.

Solarzellen wurden bisher hauptsächlich aus Silizum hergestellt, doch neueste Forschungen haben auch andere Materialien ebenfalls effiziente und vor allem kostengünstigere Umwandler von Sonnenenergie in Strom ausgewiesen.

Energieversorgung vor Ort
Der Anbieter will seine Solarzellen zum direkten Aufbringen auf Mauern und Dächern anbieten.

Indem man die Solar-Schichten direkt auf dem Baumaterial anbringt, könne man die Kosten signifikant reduzieren und man hat die Zellen genau dort, wo man sie braucht, so der Chef des Start-Ups aus Texas.

Laut Heliovolt-Chef Billy J. Stanbery soll die Massenproduktion noch im Herbst dieses Jahres starten. Durch die Applikation von Dünnschicht-Solarzellen könne man auch alte Silizium-Zellen ersetzen, erklärt Stanberg gegenüber Cnet.

hat jemand eine WKN oder ein US Kürzel

[snoopy14]

Ich habe HelioVolt eine Anfrage bzgl. Listing / Going Public geschickt.

Ich habe den Eindruck, dass bis jetzt vorwiegend Kapital von Venture Capital Firmen in HelioVolt investiert ist.

[snoopy14]

HelioVolt will die "Solarzellen" direkt auf das Baumaterial auftragen.

Das gibt mir ein wenig zu denken

Das Baumaterial unterliegt ja schließlich Verschleißerscheinungen, ob das nun der Putz ist, die Dachziegel ...

Was passiert denn dann mit der Beschichtung?

Nur so ein kleiner Denkanstoß!

Guter Einwand,ich habe auch keine genaue Vorstellung wie das gehen soll!
Mir ist nur bekannt das in USA und ganz besonders in den Wärmeren Staten eine Leichtbauweise möglicherweise aus fertigelementen exestiert!
Da denke ich, ist es warscheinlich nicht so schwierig statt eines Lack oder Kunststoffbeschichtung gleich eine PV-beschichtung aufzubringen!
Die Antwort auf deine anfrage bzgl. Listing / Going Public würde mich auch sehr interessieren!

[ichliebees]

möchte gerne Investieren,wer weiß das US Kürzel

[snoopy14]

Hi Remus,

Leichtbauweise ... ok! Grenzt aber den Markt ein ...

Bzgl. Anfrage an HelioVolt:

Klar, sobald ich eine Antwort erhalten habe, stelle ich diese hier rein.

Hi snoopy14,

zwecks direktem auftragen auf Baumaterial, habe ich da was gefunden,es wird zwar bei uns in D hergestellt aber so könnte es funktionieren!

HelioVolt Secures New Technical Advisory Board Member, Solar Fab and 2006 Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award for Thin-Film Photovoltaics

Thin-Film Solar Pioneer Expands Product Development and Manufacturing Capabilities
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2006--HelioVolt Corporation today announced that Frost and Sullivan has honored the next-generation solar energy technology company with the 2006 Innovation of the Year Award in the field of thin film photovoltaics. The Frost and Sullivan recognition follows closely on a strategic new addition to HelioVolt's technical advisory panel, Dr. Vish Krishnan, a specialist in innovation and technology commercialization at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Krishnan will lend his expertise to HelioVolt as the company prepares to deliver its proprietary copper indium gallium selenide-based (CIGS) thin film photovoltaic technology to market from its new R&D and fabrication facility.

"HelioVolt's FASST process has enabled a rapid technique to develop high quality CIGS thin films with a very low thermal budget. The fundamental research carried out to understand the physics of the functioning mechanism of CIGS films has enabled the company to attain a strategic position from where it could deliver high quality thin film CIGS based photovoltaic modules," notes Hari Ramamoorthy, Research Analyst from Frost & Sullivan.
After a rigorous assessment of competitors in the thin film solar energy market, Frost and Sullivan awarded the Innovation of the Year Award to HelioVolt for achieving one of the most outstanding industry contributions. The award honors HelioVolt for its proprietary FASST(TM) process, a high-speed method for manufacturing silicon-free CIGS thin film at the commercial scale. Leveraging FASST to produce efficient CIGS photovoltaics at least ten times faster than its thin film competitors, HelioVolt's solar technology can be applied directly onto conventional construction materials including steel, architectural glass, and roofing materials. Transforming roofs and walls into solar-powered electricity-generating systems, HelioVolt's customizable building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) sidestep the bulky retrofit panels that have traditionally dominated the solar power industry.

"It is a period of high growth at HelioVolt. In addition to Frost & Sullivan's recent recognition of our FASST(TM) process and a new facility designed to meet our product development and manufacturing needs, we've also assembled an extraordinary group of distinguished technical experts committed to guiding HelioVolt's product development," said HelioVolt CEO Dr. B.J. Stanbery. "Dr. Krishnan's technology, logistics, and product innovation expertise will be a critical asset as we bring our thin-film solar technology out of the lab and into the rapidly growing market for BIPV."

Dr. Krishnan joins Colorado State University's Dr. James Sites, Princeton University's Dr. Kyle Vanderlick, and Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Arno Penzias on HelioVolt's technical advisory panel.

"HelioVolt's flexible method for printing efficient photovoltaics throws the door wide open for a new spectrum of valuable applications for solar power. I look forward to working with Dr. Stanbery's team in delivering on the promise of a suite of innovative, practical, and profitable solar energy products," said Dr. Krishnan.

One of the world's foremost scholars on the topics of product, process, and business innovation, Dr. Krishnan holds an endowed chair at the University of California, San Diego's Rady School of Management where he leads the school's efforts in the areas of innovation, technology and operations. He has published numerous well-cited articles and serves in editorial positions in the top Management journals. Prior to the Rady School, Dr. Krishnan was IC2 Senior Research Fellow and Management Professor at the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. He received his Doctorate degree in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

About HelioVolt

HelioVolt Corporation was founded in 2001 in order to develop and market new technology for applying thin-film photovoltaic (PV) coatings to conventional construction materials. The company's proprietary FASST(TM) process, based on semiconductor printing, was invented by HelioVolt founder Dr. B.J. Stanbery, an eminent expert within the international PV community in the materials science of CIS and related compound semiconductors. FASST(TM) is a low-cost, flexible manufacturing process for CIGS synthesis and is protected by both eight issued US patents and by global patents pending.
