PR NewswireSolar Cell Manufacturing Equipment and Intellectual Property from Alta Devices Now Available for Bulk or Piecemeal PurchaseLiquidity Services, Tiger Group, Maynards Industries, and GES Associates LLC have been appointed as joint sale agents to manage the bulk and piecemeal sale of Alta Devices' assets following a complete facility closure. The sale includes solar and semiconductor manufacturing equipment from Alta's Sunnyvale, California facility, along with test and measurement equipment, an analysis lab, plant support and IT equipment, intellectual property rights, and over 400 patents for Thin-Flexible Solar Cells. The sale process will begin immediately with a negotiated sale phase followed by online auction events.PR NewswireHanergy's Alta Devices Hits the High Spot in Solar Energy with Record Breaking EfficiencyHanergy Thin Film Power Group announced that its US-based subsidiary, Alta Devices, achieved a world record 28.9% conversion efficiency for single-junction GaAs solar modules, as certified by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This milestone reinforces Hanergy's position as a leader in high-efficiency thin-film solar technology and expands potential applications for autonomous machines and electric vehicles. The company has previously collaborated with automotive manufacturers such as Audi, FAW, and BAIC to integrate this technology into solar roofs.PR NewswireHanergy Breaks World Record for GaAs Solar Production ModulesHanergy Thin Film Power Group Limited announced that its US-based subsidiary Alta Devices achieved a world record with a 25.1% conversion efficiency rating on its newest GaAs solar production module—the highest efficiency single-junction solar module ever produced, verified by German testing laboratory Fraunhofer ISE CalLab PV Modules. The thin and flexible modules can be used to power unmanned aerial vehicles, electric vehicles, and smart sensors, representing a breakthrough for autonomous machines requiring continuous power. Alta Devices has broken GaAs single-junction conversion efficiency records four times since 2010 and still holds the world's highest lab conversion efficiency rate of 28.8%.PR NewswireHanergy et Audi signent un protocole d'accord pour une coopération stratégique sur la technologie de cellules photovoltaïques à couches mincesAudi and Hanergy Thin Film Power Group Limited signed a memorandum of understanding in Beijing for strategic cooperation on thin-film photovoltaic cell technology, aiming to integrate solar cells into Audi vehicle panoramic sunroofs to power electrical systems and eventually charge traction batteries. The partnership leverages Alta Devices' flexible GaAs thin-film technology, with the companies planning to unveil a prototype Audi vehicle with solar roof solution by the end of 2017. The collaboration supports Audi's goal of achieving one-third of its vehicles with fully electric drivetrains by 2025 as part of its carbon-free mobility vision.PR NewswireHanergy y Audi firman un Memorando de entendimiento para cooperación estratégica en tecnología de celda solar de película delgadaHanergy Thin Film Power Group Limited announced that its wholly-owned US subsidiary Alta Devices signed a memorandum of understanding with Audi AG for strategic cooperation on thin-film solar cell technology, launching the "Audi/Hanergy Thin-Film Solar Cell R&D Project." As an initial step, both parties will integrate flexible GaAs thin-film solar cells into panoramic sunroofs of Audi models to power the vehicle's electrical systems and extend driving range, with plans to present a prototype by the end of 2017. The long-term goal is to use solar technology to directly charge electric vehicle traction batteries, supporting Audi's vision for emission-free mobility.PR NewswireHanergy y Audi firman un memorando de acuerdo de cooperación en tecnología de células solares de película finaHanergy Thin Film Power Group Limited's US subsidiary Alta Devices signed a memorandum of understanding with Audi AG on August 23, 2017, establishing a strategic cooperation for thin-film solar cell technology in vehicles. The joint R&D project will initially integrate flexible gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells into Audi's panoramic sunroofs to power the vehicle's electrical systems, with the goal of eventually charging the traction battery directly. A prototype Audi vehicle with an integrated solar roof system is planned for the end of 2017, supporting Audi's long-term vision for zero-emission mobility and electric vehicle expansion.PR NewswireC-ASTRAL Aerospace Launches Long Endurance ppX Small Unmanned Aerial System At The 2016 Commercial UAV Expo In Las VegasC-ASTRAL Aerospace launched its new Bramor ppX long endurance small UAS at the 2016 Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, alongside the solar-powered ppX-LRS version developed in partnership with Alta Devices. The ppX system flies for 3.5 hours in standard configuration and up to 5.5 hours with the LRS solar power assist, representing an order of magnitude improvement over competing systems. The company, based in Ajdovscina, Slovenia, is using the launch to enter the US market and is establishing a stateside support and distribution network for North American customers.FinSMEsAlta Devices Raises Equity Funding as Part of a $72M RoundAlta Devices raised equity funding as part of a $72M round, with investors including August Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and others.
