Solar3D, Inc. developed a 3-dimensional solar cell technology to maximize the conversion of sunlight into electricity, announced today that it is consulting with outside manufacturing experts to optimize the prototype design for low-cost mass production. Jim Nelson, CEO of Solar3D, said, “Creating a solar cell that is significantly more efficient than current technology is only half of our mission. It is essential that we make it as inexpensively as possible. The use of experts from the outside has helped us make slight modifications to the design that will save significant operating and capital expense.”
