Kitchener, Ontario [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Although nothing is binding
or certain about the announcement, Canada's ARISE Technologies Corporation
said it plans to form a solar grade silicon feedstock division. A company
statement says it believes the best technology path to reduce the cost of
solar energy is to produce hetrojunction PV cells on silicon wafers using
patented technology that is currently being developed with the University
of Toronto. The company says it has formed a team of advisors,
consultants, industrial and academic members and signed non-binding
Letters of Intent with this team. It should be noted that this would not
be the company's first announcement of a new undertaking or contract that
was based solely on non-binding Letters of Intent.
