Solexant is a San Jose, CA–based developer of ultrathin-film photovoltaic technologies built on a printable nanocrystal platform developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). Its platform is designed to increase solar-cell efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. The company’s first products will be based on printed Cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanocrystals. Solexant has completed a 2MW pilot line operating at its headquarters. It plans to commercialize solar cells based on other printed nanocrystal materials over the next years. The company recently raised $41.5M as part of a Series C financing, and two investor representatives will join its board.
