Your daily dose of photovoltaic technology developments and solar news

MEMC is a global leader in the manufacture and sale of wafers and related products to the semiconductor and solar industries. Wafers are literally the foundation upon which virtually all of the world’s semiconductors and solar cells are built. Those products, in turn, are the building blocks for the $1 trillion electronics market (cell phones, computers, PDAs, CD/DVD players, satellite and automotive electronics, etc.) and the $18 billion solar cell/module market (rooftop, solar farms, consumer lighting, etc.). MEMC has been a pioneer in the design and development of wafer technologies since 1959, and operates facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific.
