>Att'n: Solar and Renewable Energy Enthusiasts,
>
>My East-Coast client is developing an innovative
>high performance micro-concentrator solar cell
>array produceable at a fraction of the cost of
>alternative technologies. Due to the low cost
>parallel-processing approach coupled with the
>high performance optics and multi-junction solar
>cell combination, the solar module will have the
>lowest $/W ratio available in the marketplace.
>
>The solar industry continues to grow at a double
>digit rate, demanding the highest performance
>solar modules at the lowest possible cost. My
>client has developed unique technology licensed
>from a Midwestern university which is capable of
>massively parallel transfer printing very small
>solar cell chips onto a solar panel at very low
>cost. The technology enables the use of very
>high performance multi-junction III-V compound
>(GaAs) semiconductor solar cells.

>with a dynamic team of engineers and partners
>engaged in this exciting multi-disciplinary
>field and will report directly to the VP of Technology.
>
>QUALIFICATIONS: Candidate must have an advanced degree in EE,
>Physics, or equivalent and 5+ years of industry experience with
>photovoltaic systems including field installations. The individual must be
