Signet Solar

Signet Solar is a global company founded to design and manufacture large area, low cost, thin film silicon Photovoltaic (PV) modules. 

Led by a management team with extensive experience in the semiconductor industry,  technology commercialization and global operations, Signet Solar plans to accelerate adoption of solar energy in commercial and remote applications by rapidly reducing the cost of solar modules.  

	“Signet” is a seal, especially one used officially to mark documents, or the impression made with a seal. Signet Solar wants to leave its impression by making solar energy a viable choice for a sustainable energy future.

Signet Solar plans to ramp production near Dresden Germany, using a fully-integrated thin film solar production line by mid-2008. Based on this initial platform, its research and development center will develop and implement innovative device architectures and manufacturing methods.  These innovations, combined with high volume, large area manufacturing in India, will deliver industry leading module manufacturing cost structure, targeting grid parity by 2010. 

Product design and process control will enable world class quality and reliability.  These thin film silicon on glass modules are designed to be aesthetically appealing. Signet Solar’s technology is targeted for applications in Solar farms, commercial installations, building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and remote habitation.
