Woo hoo! Another 20 million bucks is to be invested in a Canadian firm who have been purifying silicon more efficiently for solar grade product. It’ll bring the cost of PV’s down even more. Solar is beginning to look like a real alternative for at least part of our energy needs. From Tech Confidential:
6N Silicon Inc. of Toronto, a developer of solar-grade silicon purification technology, has secured $20 million in second-round financing. The company previously raised a $5.7 million first round in July. The new investment was led by Good Energies of Basel, Switzerland, and joined by returning backers Ventures West and Yaletown Venture Partners, both of Vancouver, British Columbia. 6N Silicon, which will use the capital to move into commercial production, was founded in 2006 to develop a process for purifying metallurgical-grade silicon into solar-grade silicon using a low-cost metallurgical processing. The company’s purification process is designed to greatly reduce the cost of making solar panels for the photovoltaic industry.
Like I’ve always said. Put the money in. Refine the technology. Bring the costs down and we’ll avoid the apocalyptic visions of a post carbon economy! There is enough energy all around us provided for free by our Mother Earth. The ever flowing tide, the constant air flow around the globe and of course that big yellow thing up in the sky. That thing which powers our green, eco friendly web hosting
