Canadian companies Silfab Solar and Morgan Solar JV are to develop low - concentration photovoltaic ( PV ) modules for North American commercial applications . The pair aims to integrate low - concentration optic technology into standard solar PV modules . The technology is expected to reduce the amount of silicon used by as much as 50 % and cut costs by about 30 % .
