SunPrint Scores Funding for Novel Printing Technique

Solar cell start‐up company SunPrint has secured funding from a top‐tier venture capital firm based on technology developed in the Foundry’s Inorganic Facility. Foundry users Tom Hunt, Mark Topinka and Chris Rivest developed a novel printing technique to produce photovoltaic thin film modules for solar energy. The promising efficiency of these thin film solar cells will be further explored through a follow‐on User project slated for next year.
