Achieving Pervasive Solar Energy requires low cost, high throughput manufacturing of high performance solar cells, modules and systems that can meet the cost demand of less than $1/Wp at the system level. To achieve this benchmark cost, DayStar is pursuing a vision of super-large, Gigawatt scale manufacturing by initially employing discrete solar cells on flexible metal substrates that will be manufactured by incrementally advanced production processes adapted from the computer hard-drive industry.
