Background of RSI
RSI has developed a proprietary process to
manufacture solar grade silicon with a purity of 99.9999+% (6N’s). The
manufacturing processes have been commercially in use for over fifty years.
Its founders recognized that the processing of
solar grade energy was too expensive and dependent on the Siemens Process
Methodology. RSI has rewritten the way to make solar grade silicon using proven
processes from other industries. This new innovative methodology will assist
many countries achieve their renewable energy goals by making Solar Energy a
viable proposition for energy producers.TechnologyDr. Steve Amendola developed
the technology to use readily available inexpensive raw materials and
off-the-shelf equipment. Combined with current Market Conditions, it is now
commercially viable to use this technology to build solar grade silicon and
ultimately build a global company that help address Environmental
Concerns.RSIs Current StatusDr. Steve Amendola, along with his experienced team, has commenced
building the first plant. It is envisaged that production at the 1,000 metric
tonne per annum plant based in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, will commence
Q2 2010. RSI anticipates completing a new plant
in 2012 that will have a production capacity of 30,000 metric tonnes per annum,
consisting of 6 new 5,000 tonne furnaces.RSI is
currently negotiating delivery contracts, subject to anticipated production
schedules.RSIs AimsRSI intends to be at the forefront in developing solar grade silicon
technology as well as building a global company with strong
ethics.
