Waste is displaced resource! Systems from Plus MAT extract high value (PV Silicon) from waste of PV wafer sawing (slurry) to reduce PV production cost significantly. Now Yun Luo, CEO from Plus MAT will fly with the venture leaders China to Beijing and Shanghai.

Today, the levelized cost of energy and energy returned on energy invested persist as the key metrics in determining the market acceptance of photovoltaics (PV) as a competitive grid-tied energy resource. In every watt of PV electricity from modules, the cost of PV-grade Silicon (Si) accounts for around 20%. However, at least 40% of Si is lost at present during wafer production process. The market volume of lost Si was 2B$ in 2013 and will continue increasing by 20% to 30% p.a.
Plus MAT AG is commercializing a patented cost-effective and innovative system, including equipment and process, to recover the lost Si from PV sawing process for direct re-application in the production line.
