CPV Starting to Make Resurgence—Small Companies Raise Capital and Big Players Show Interest

摘要

GreenVolts, a concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) startup, raised $7.5 million of an anticipated $ 11.3 million in funding, according to an SEC filing. The firm has raised more than $50 million in venture capital and debt to date. The Fremont, California-based company uses ground-mount equipment to focus sunlight on high-efficiency triple-junction solar cells and at one point was building a 2 MW power plant for Pacific Gas Et Electric (PGεtE) in Tracy, California.
