MERLIN SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES

Merlin Solar is the brainchild of several disparate experts in the solar industry coming together, with a bit of a kick from a few helpful outsiders. Like its magical namesake, Merlin embraces an inquisitive solutions-oriented approach. The founders come from deep solar backgrounds, having worked the gamut of thin film and silicon slicing technologies. Core members also come from outside the industry, working in areas such as flexible displays and high throughput automation. This combination of ... deep solar expertise and outsider push has resulted in a product that fundamentally rethinks the physics and mechanical strength of a crystalline solar cell. By starting from first principles and designing for optimal performance, while also keeping line changes to a minimum, the team has come up with a solution that is simultaneously incremental and disruptive.
