The ChemArc process provides for the production of solar grade silicon with significant reduction is production costs and capital expenditure
COMPANY : ABOUT
- Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Easton, Pennsylvania, Renewable Silicon International is a dedicated manufacturer of solar grade silicon
- RSi produces a 6N+ polysilicon chunk that is 7N+ after directional solidification - RSi is the developer of the ChemArc process, a patented technology to manufacture solar-grade silicon using simple, proven equipment which provides significant benefits over other polysilicon technologies
- RSi’s feedstock is safe and readily available
- The process uses no harmful chemicals and generates no dangerous emissions
- RSi uses a greatly reduced amount of energy in its production process, allowing for a considerable shortening of the energy payback period of a solar cell
- The ChemArc process is sustainable and close to carbon neutral, employing sugar as its preferred carbon source as opposed to wood and coal more commonly applied in the industry
- Winner of MIT's 2007 Ignite Clean Energy Business Competition
- Experienced management team composed of experts in manufacturing, metallurgy, chemistry and engineering
