Magnolia Solar Brings Nano-Engineered, Non-Toxic, Low Cost Thin Film to the Table

Magnolia Solar partners with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany in New YorkFresh on the heel’s of IBM’s breakthrough in low cost solar, Magnolia Solar Corporation has announced that its low cost thin film technology maybe coming soon to a solar array near you.  The company has just won a $1 million Department of Energy grant for advancing the technology in partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany in New York.

Like IBM, Magnolia Solar is focused on delivering genuinely clean (as opposed to “clean coal” clean), high efficiency solar energy that can compete on the market with fossil fuels, while helping to shift photovoltaic technology away from a reliance on heavy metals.
