OptiSolar R&D

OptiSolar utilizes a proprietary thin-film amorphous silicon technology to develop and manufacture photovoltaic solar panels.

This profile represents OptiSolar’s product development business, which was sold to First Solar in March of 2009.

OptiSolar’s manufacturing and intellectual property assets were purchased by EPOD Solar (formerly Allora Minerals) for $260m.
