Description from the homepage/welcome section: Silicon Valley Solar is a manufacturer of flat plate, internal concentrator solar modules. These modules utilize less than half the number of solar cells when compare to traditional solar modules while producing the same or even higher output. Considering the solar cells account for up to 75% of the total module cost, SV Solar's Sol-X technology aims to provide a competitive advantage within the solar industry.

Suntech Power has been producing solar cells, modules, and systems since August 2002, and has been profitable since 2003. The company says its solar photovoltaic wafers are thinner, which leads to more efficient solar cells at lower production costs.

Xunlight Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets lightweight and flexible photovoltaic modules that convert sunlight into electricity.

Chint Solar is a Chinese thin-film solar company that expects that its thin-film technology will lower the cost of photovoltaic power generation from US$2 per watt to US$1.

Anaxtal Silicon is Anaxtal Silicon has developed the "Witter Green Cycle" for manufacturing a grade of silicon specifically tailored for the solar photovoltaic wafer and module manufacturers at a low cost.

Jem Enterprises is a company that received a SBIR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Tin(II) Sulfide Photovoltaics. Their project aims to develop photovoltaic devices based on tin (II) sulfide (SnS). The properties of SnS, including bandgaps, carrier density and mobility, chemical and thermal stability, and metallurgical properties, promise the possibility to achieve relatively high conversion efficiency given state-of-art process control and device design. In this project, close space sublimation (CSS) technique, a thin film fabrication method proven for low cost and high manufacturability, will be used to synthesize SnS. The broader/commercial impact of this project will be the potential to produce photovoltaic devices based on low-cost and environmentally-friendly materials. There is no doubt that solar electricity has attracted a lot of attention in recent years as an alternative and renewable energy source. However, most of the current solar cell technologies have one or more of the following issues that, (1) raw materials are not abundantly available; (2) toxic materials are used; (3) overall cost is high. This project will address these issues by developing photovoltaic devices using SnS, a semiconductor material that can be supplied on a massive scale and at low recovery costs.
