NexWafe Expands Board to Broaden Global Delivery of Green Silicon Wafer Technology
Industry veteran Thomas Koerner will help company break into Asian photovoltaic market
(PresseBox) - NexWafe GmbH today announced Thomas Koerner has joined the company?s board of directors.
NexWafe recently completed a ?10 million round of funding intended to help move the company into pilot production and beyond. The pioneering company uses a proprietary green silicon manufacturing process that is fully compatible with conventional solar cell manufacturing to produce ultra-thin, high-efficiency, monocrystalline silicon wafers. With climate change a top priority among world leaders and carbon taxes on the horizon, NexWafe?s technology is designed to lower carbon dioxide emissions produced during the manufacture of silicon wafers while simultaneously reducing cost and increasing efficiency.
?Thomas brings additional depth and diversity to our leadership team at NexWafe,? commented Davor Sujita, CEO.
An impassioned advocate for the solar industry, Koerner is currently Corporate Vice President of Global Sales at Canadian Solar, where he has been employed since 2012.
?NexWafe?s business model is to produce next-generation silicon wafers with its own manufacturing
Prior to his new position on NexWafe?s board of directors, Koerner served as a board member for SEIA, the Solar Energy Industries Association, and eNow, Inc., a provider of mobile solar applications for commercial and recreational vehicles.
NexWafe GmbH uses a proprietary process to produce ultra-thin, high-efficiency, monocrystalline green silicon wafers. Fully compatible with conventional solar cell manufacturing, NexWafe offers a 70% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions during manufacturing. In addition to being ?green,? Nexwafe?s continuous, direct gas-to-wafer manufacturing process minimizes waste, resulting in wafers that are 30% less expensive than conventional wafers. NexWafe?s in-line, ultra-scalable process shatters cost down roadmap barriers and inherently supports the industry?s extraordinary growth as the transition to solar power accelerates worldwide. The company, which was spun out from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in 2015, has a 5MW pilot prototype facility located in Freiburg, Germany.
