"CaliSolar, using BSI's UMG Si, has made a major breakthrough in photovoltaic (PV) technology," said Dr. Eicke Weber, a CaliSolar founder and Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Germany. "The impact of UMG Si in this important, rapidly expanding market can hardly be overstated. By 2015, half of the world's PV production could be based on the use of UMG Si."
"In their search for a solar grade silicon supplier, CaliSolar has done extensive tests with materials from many UMG Si producers and obtained cell efficiencies over 15% with our product." said Mr. Rene Boisvert, President and CEO of BSI. "This agreement to supply CaliSolar is consistent with our strategy of supplying solar grade silicon to companies with the capability to produce solar cells with our material with efficiencies similar to cells produced with polysilicon."
