Clean Energy Begins
| Sylarus Technologies is a U.S.-owned, domestic supplier of premium germanium (Ge) substrates to the solar power (photovoltaic) and electronics industries. The Sylarus goal is to become the world's low-cost Ge wafer vendor, offering superior products of uniform, uncompromising quality. |  |
 |
Located in beautiful St. George, UT, gateway to Zion National Park and two hours north of Las Vegas on I-15, Sylarus has established a 40,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with over 4,000 sq. ft. of clean room space and another 8,000 sq. ft. of environmentally controlled high-tech manufacturing space. |
| Sylarus supplies low cost, premium quality Ge wafers to the manufacturers of multi-junction, compound semiconductor photovoltaics. These high-efficiency solar cells are used for both space and earth-based (terrestrial) solar power generation. Used in tracking concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) arrays, this technology offers the prospect of clean, renewable, utility power generation at competitive levelized cost-of-energy (LCOE) rates consistent with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) 2010 Solar America Initiative (SAI) goals. |  |
 |
Sylarus substrates are epi-ready, which means they are ultra-clean and meet rigid customer specifications for immediate insertion into thin-film, vacuum deposition systems. In addition to multi-junction PV applications, Sylarus can provide Ge substrates in customized diameters, thicknesses, surface finishes, and electrical properties for electronics and research applications. |
| An uncompromising commitment to quality permeates the Sylarus operation. The Sylarus management team comes from a deep experience base in the application of lean production principles in highly competitive markets, as well as an understanding and commitment to the cultivation of a high performance organization. Sylarus has initiated the ISO9000 certification process and has passed stringent customer certification requirements. |  |
