The market for solar energy is changing fast.
There are a number of technology solutions competing in the race to grid parity. End users of solar energy products are constantly demanding higher standards of production quality and reliability from their solution providers, while seeking cost competition with unregulated energy sources. It is against this challenging backdrop that Sunrise was formed
Crystalline photovoltaic cells, the most significant contributor on the solar value chain to end product efficiency and consequently system cost, have not made necessary improvements over time to allow solar energy to compete with conventional energy generation sources. Rather than innovate at the product and business model level, the industry has relied on massive increases in scale to drive cost reductions.
Sunrise aims to reverse the trend. By focusing on innovation at the very fundamental elements of PV technology and by developing a customized product process, Sunrise has created a unique manufacturing platform that exceeds the highest market benchmarks in consistency and cost efficiency before the application of scale.
