At Leading Edge Equipment Technologies, we’re empowering solar panel manufacturers with a revolutionary new drop-in manufacturing technology to produce kerfless, single-crystal silicon wafers. Current silicon wafer production involves wire-sawing large silicon ingots, chemical etching, and energy-intensive furnaces. This results in excessive waste, high energy costs, and reduced wafer efficiency. We use a breakthrough technique in crystal growth to produce silicon wafers for 50 percent less than current single-crystal solutions and with higher efficiency. A true double-win.
