Greentech Media | Xerox's PARC to Spin Out Solar Startup

PARC has some new solar technology they're pretty excited about -

Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center plans in the next six months to spin out a company that hopes to reduce the thickness of grid lines on solar cells, increasing efficiency by 6 to 8 percent.

The technology, which essentially prints the thin silver lines that transfer electricity from the photovoltaic material on solar cells, sprung out of Xerox’s printing expertise.


Reducing the concentration of CO2 requires the creation and application of new technologies of all kinds: social, cultural, economic and, as in this case, technological.

We're going to focus our attention on research conducted in the Bay Area, including Silicon Valley. Send any suggestions and tips to ben@320ppm.blogspot.com
