EL MONTE, CA--(Marketwire - September 26, 2008) - Dr. Vishal Shrotriya, Director of Technology Development, will present Solarmer Energy, Inc.'s progress toward delivering commercial grade plastic solar cells and future plans at the Organic Semiconductor Conference in Frankfurt, Germany on September 30, 2008. The talk will focus on three key efforts contributing to significant progress towards the company's goals: success in materials development leading to improvements in efficiency, an emphasis on making translucent solar cells a reality, and plans to prove the manufacturability of Solarmer's plastic solar cells.
"We are very excited about having the flexibility to work with three distinct polymer systems that have attained more than 5% efficiency in the lab," said Dr. Yue Wu, Senior Researcher and leader of Solarmer's Device Engineering team. "These results were made possible through the successful combination of the device engineering and materials development expertise of Solarmer and our partners, and will give us multiple routes to explore to achieve higher efficiency and successful delivery of our commercial grade prototype."
