AVA Solar is a manufacturer of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules.AVA Solar%u2019s proprietary technology will enable the production of low-cost PV modules and will significantly reduce the cost of generating solar electricity. Production capacity will be scaled rapidly to meet the fast growing demand for solar energy.Using cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film technology, AVA Solar has perfected a robust, industrial-scale, continuous process for producing solar PV modules. Over the past five years, AVA Solar has successfully performed testing simulating 30 years of field exposure. These tests indicate efficiency and stability performance comparable to the leading CdTe-based modules currently on the market.AVA Solar is currently in the process of scaling up its initial production lines for a variety of large-scale, grid-connected applications.AVA Solar intends to enter large-scale production in 2009.
