"Presently there is no mention about metallurgically produced SoG Si because it only represents a minuscule segment of the market but that is what we are aiming at changing with Apollon Solar."
PUREVAP makes Apollon's patented processes feasable and available to a "new" market.
"We (HPQ – Apollon) believe that we can produce metallurgically a cheap, green 5N+ SoG Si that will have a high conversion efficiency. You do remember that Apollon solar obtained, an independently confirmed, world record conversion efficiency of 21.1% with monocrystalline ingots, for a solar cell made with 100% “SoG Si UMG”. "
High purity quartz to 5n in a one step process has never been done before and Apollon has a patented doping process and a patented solar cell process that will create the greenest, low cost solar module, a production also patented by Apollon.
With Pyrogenesis stating 4n"+" with low purity quartz in gen 3, it will be revolutionary for quartz mines around the world if they achieve such, creating a paradigm shift. With the low cash cost to build a PUREVAP plant, quartz mines will be able to produce high purity silicon on or closer to the mines.
Here comes the sun...
