TEMPE, Ariz. & ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arizona State University and Advent Solar, Inc. today announced a development partnership to further the advancement of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. As part of the initiative, members of Arizona State University\'s Solar Power Laboratory will work with Advent Solar, a leading innovator of silicon-based solar technology, to develop solutions for improving energy harvesting of solar systems.
The Advent Solar initiative with ASU signals a benchmark in regional efforts to increase solar technology development in Arizona. Advent Solar will place engineering talent at SkySong, ASU\'s Center for Innovation in Scottsdale. Their presence reinforces the robust research capabilities that ASU offers and validates Arizona\'s future role in the global solar industry.
\"ASU SkySong is a platform for stimulating economic growth through university-business partnerships, and has assisted many enterprises with finding customers and growing their network of potential new business collaborations, as well as new clients,\" said Julia Rosen, associate vice president for ASU Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
\"Arizona State University\'s prominent team of scientists and engineers are committed to developing the next-generation of solar energy technology to improve power efficiency and the economic feasibility of renewable energy,\" said George Maracas, acting Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Solar Power Laboratory at Arizona State University. \"We\'re thrilled to partner with solar technology innovator, Advent Solar. By working with Advent Solar, we will not only be able to further our technology development goals, but also stimulate economic development in the Southwest region around renewable energy technology.\"
\"Advent Solar is a forward-thinking, performance-driven company, and Scottsdale is thrilled to welcome them to SkySong,\" said Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane. \"The collaboration between ASU and Advent Solar will advance the next generation of solar technology and help elevate Arizona\'s profile as a destination for this industry.\"
\"Scottsdale has long been a champion of sustainable practices, and the addition of Advent Solar to our community supports our efforts to create a progressive business climate,\" said Harold Stewart, acting Economic Vitality General Manager for the City of Scottsdale. \"We are proud to nurture the future of solar advancements in our city.\"
Arizona State University and Advent Solar will collaborate to develop next-generation solar technology based upon the architectural framework provided by Advent Solar® Ventura™ Technology. This technology provides the blueprint for delivering the industry\'s best value for silicon PV modules. Ventura Solar Technology combines the Emitter-Wrap Through (EWT) back-contact cell with Monolithic Module Assembly (MMA). It is an integrated cell-to-module architecture that delivers higher energy efficiency at lower production costs.
\"With Ventura Technology, Advent Solar has created a development path to significantly improve the efficiency and cost metrics of solar technology at both the cell and module levels,\" said Peter Green, president and CEO of Advent Solar. \"We are excited about working closely with Arizona State University to further expand the capabilities of Ventura Technology and create innovative approaches to meet the challenges facing the solar industry.
\"The Greater Phoenix Economic Council is proud to see the realization of Advent Solar\'s partnership with ASU,\" said Barry Broome, GPEC president and CEO. The regional economic development organization facilitated the introduction between these institutions during an executive tour of Greater Phoenix last November. \"Arizona should be a leader in engineering, manufacturing, distributing and consuming solar technology. Advent Solar\'s involvement in our market helps us move in that direction.\"

Advent Solar(R) Reaches Agreements to Ship 250MW of Ventura(TM) Solar Modules
VALENCIA, Spain, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- European Union Photovoltaic Solar EnergyConference -- Advent Solar, Inc., a manufacturer of innovative solar cells and modules, today announced that it has reached a key milestone in the company's rapid growth strategy. Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik and SunConnex have agreed to purchase and distribute Advent Solar(R) Ventura(TM) Technology, the solar industry's only comprehensive cell-to-module solar architecture. Under this agreement, Advent Solar and its European partners will deploy over 250 megawatts (MW) of Ventura-based solutions in Europe through 2013.
"Advent Solar is focused on helping the solar industry move closer to grid parity by providing innovative solar solutions that maximize efficiency and increase energy output," said Peter Green, president and CEO of Advent Solar. "Our partnerships with Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik and SunConnex are key elements of our long-term growth strategy in Europe and demonstrate our commitment to moving solar energy from an alterative technology to a mainstream solution."
Advent Solar will provide solar solutions based on Ventura Solar Technology through its relationships with established European solar installers, integrators and distributors, including:
-- Enerpoint S.p.A.: a leading photovoltaic (PV) company, based in Milan, Italy, and active since 2001 in the distribution of highly selected and qualified components for PV systems towards installers and investors. Enerpoint is also specialized in engineering, procurement and contracting of high power PV systems for investors.
-- MHH Solartechnik GmbH: a systems integrator based in Germany. MHH Solartechnik supports all phases of PV projects from planning and yield optimization to actual on-site implementation. The company conducts business in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland.
-- SunConnex B.V.: a PV-focused distributor based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. SunConnex supports their partners with a multinational team of specialists who have experience with multi-MW installations, on-grid and off- grid projects, and building integrated systems throughout Europe and overseas.
"By extending our existing relationships with Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik and SunConnex in Europe to include solutions based on Advent Solar Ventura Technology, we are expanding the adoption of innovative solar technology into the European market," said Naresh Baliga, vice president of marketing for Advent Solar. "These partnerships will help us drive growth in the main countries deploying photovoltaic solar solutions, such as Germany, Italy and Spain, as well as emerging markets throughout Europe."
Advent Solar launched Ventura Technology at the 2008 European Union Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference in Valencia, Spain. Ventura Solar Technology provides a system-level design approach by combining Emitter-Wrap Through (EWT) back-contact cells with semiconductor device manufacturing methods to create a highly scalable platform for module manufacturing. Ventura Technology enables Advent Solar to develop solar cells and modules that deliver high energy output by optimizing silicon light capture,and dramatically improving cell and module-level connectivity to minimize resistive losses. The architecture provides higher cell-to-module efficiency, while using thinner silicon wafers to reduce costs.
Advent Solar will provide additional information regarding Ventura Technology and its recently extended partnerships at booth 4/C 12 during the European Union Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference.
