We have invented a cost-effective, ultrahigh throughput nanotechnology to increase the efficiency and drastically reduce the manufacturing cost of solar cells. It is seamlessly compatible with current solar cell manufacturing line, and works for all silicon based solar cells.
Our technology has been patented through the Office of Technology Management at U of I, and we have win

The detailed requirements are as follows:
－Business model design (able to gain basic understanding of our core technology; it is a plus being familiar with photovoltaic or semiconductor industry)

－Competitor identification and analysis (be able to compare our own product to right things and identify correct figures of merit)
－ Pricing and marketing strategies
－ Financial projection
