Canadian companies Silfab Solar and Morgan Solar JV are to develop low-cost photovoltaic (PV) modules for North American commercial users. The two firms will work together on the development of a new generation of solar cells that can be produced at low cost using existing manufacturing processes. The technique is expected to reduce the amount of silicon needed by as much as 80% and cut costs by about 30%.
