XsunX, Inc., a solar technology company, announced today that it has secured supply of Germane gas required for its thin film deposition process for the manufacture of solar panels. The Germane, manufactured by Voltaix, LLC, is a key material for production of high efficiency tandem solar cells. XsunX is refurbishing an existing 90,000 sq. ft. building, located in Wood Village, near Portland, Oregon, to house its new multi-megawatt integrated TFPV manufacturing operations.
"The use of Germane allows XsunX to improve the efficiencies of our tandem solar cell design and we are very pleased to be working with Voltaix, a recognized leader in the production of Germane gases," stated Mr. Tom Djokovich, CEO for XsunX. As with the balance of our preferred vendors for various components and materials necessary for our TFPV manufacturing system we've found Voltaix's experience and knowledge very helpful as we progress with the build-out of our thin film photovoltaic solar manufacturing facility," concluded Djokovich.
Voltaix, founded in 1986, is a leading manufacturer of chemicals for the solar and semiconductor industries. Germane gas is a key material for the fabrication of solar cells and semiconductor devices. Voltaix, an ISO certified organization, works with industry leaders to develop materials that enable manufacture of high quality and high efficiency products.
"Voltaix is looking forward to continuing our technical collaborations with XsunX," noted Mike Pikulin, Sr. Vice President of Voltaix. "With more than 20 years of Germane manufacturing experience, we are pleased that our technical insights will contribute to the successful production of improved efficiency solar cells."
