We believe the solar industry is positioned to rapidly grow in importance as a global source of energy.

Solar energy is also renewable because it lasts as along as our sun—another 5 billion years. By contrast, today’s primary sources of energy—oil, coal, and natural gas—will eventually be exhausted.

Also, compared with IPV’s solutions, which rely on readily-available silicon, the latest CdTe and CIGS thin-film PV technologies require rare materials that are scarce and become limited in supply.
