DayStar Technologies has priced a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of common stock, all of which are being sold by the company at $4.25 per share at an estimated value of $63.8 million.

DayStar plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for the repayment in full of $9.2 million of existing indebtedness for borrowed funds and to engineer to-scale and manufacture the company's proprietary deposition tool. The company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for the construction of a 25MW CIGS photovoltaic manufacturing line, working capital and other general corporate purposes.
