Mr. Adams has over 20 years experience in technology related sales, marketing and product development. He joined Daystar in April 2008 from Solyndra, Inc. where he was responsible for market development of new solar module technologies. Prior to his entry in the solar photovoltaic space in 2006, Mr. Adams spent several years at major semiconductor equipment suppliers in marketing leadership positions for the industry’s most successful companies and products. At Varian Semiconductor (2003-2006) and Applied Materials (1991-2003) he held various positions in product management, corporate marketing, market research and strategic planning. Prior to semiconductors, he held various product development positions in the laser and disk drive industry. He has been granted 11 US patents and has authored several technical papers. Mr. Adams holds an MBA from the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin and a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley.

Michael Rogol, Managing Director of PHOTON Consulting and author of the Solar Annual 2006 Report, reports that based on the supply limitations of raw silicon, the industry will only be able to produce up to 8.4 GW of silicon-based solar cells. The remaining 2 GW will be supplied by a variety of emerging thin-film PV products. Solar cells and solar modules made from thin-films require far less raw material to create than a wafer-Si cell. Thin-film solar cells and modules, however, require a structural substrate to support them, such as glass, plastic or metal sheets or foils. Alternative modules based upon thin-film semiconductors have been under development for approximately 20 years and are now being commercialized. The three primary thin-film semiconductor materials currently being commercialized are amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium diselinide or CIGS. The CIGS technology presently under development by DayStar and others has demonstrated over 19% conversion efficiency in the laboratory, the highest among all thin-film technologies. Modules made from the CIGS technology have more than 15 years of field history and became commercially viable in part due to the research efforts of the U.S. Department of Energy s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Most thin-film manufacturers produce modules that are monolithically integrated solar cell circuits deposited directly on module sized substrates. The deposition results in the final module form factor (usually on glass plates). These films are then packaged into the final modules. Daystar s unique focus is on producing discrete solar cells similar in size and shape to wafer-Si cells, externally interconnected and then packaged into the final modules. This product approach could enable modules made from Daystar cells to compete with other thin-film module manufacturers on the open market, but also enable an alternative source of solar cells into the existing silicon module manufacturing infrastructure, presently in demand of more solar cells than supply allows. DayStar s solar cells have not been extensively field tested in the packaged module form, although prototype cells have previously been tested by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory and Dutch Space B.V. for performance, reliability, radiation hardness, and related issues pertaining to possible future use in satellite or lighter than air vehicle power applications. In conjunction with our customers and module manufacturing partners, we are planning to initiate a comprehensive solar cell and module testing program to further qualify our products for existing and new markets.
