Company Overview
AstroWatt technology reduces the cost of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells by half while meeting market
high-efficiency cell requirements.AstroWatt is the only company that has developed technology to exceed the ITPRV roadmap for thin-silicon without the introduction of expensive capital equipment. Using traditional process and automation equipment, AstroWatt technology creates an ultra-thin crystalline silicon cell with zero wafer handling or breakage concerns. Strong and flexible, the AstroWatt c-Si cell is uniquely available to every segment of the solar market including rigid and flexible modules. AstroWatt's proprietary substrate technology and cell architecture, removes wasteful silicon consumption for the lowest cost of c-Si production in the market with long-term benchmark efficiencies.
AstroWatt's leadership team has a proven track record in the development of global semiconductor and solar businesses for both start-up and large-scale companies. With over 30 years of experience and 60+ patents, the technical founders have applied years of best known practices in leading-edge device innovation to the invention of AstroWatt's leapfrog technologies. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, AstroWatt is backed by tier one venture capital firms, Austin Ventures and NEA.
