Laboratory tests verified that silicon ink, developed by 2008 Incubator
awardee Innovalight, could deliver a 1% point absolute increase in the
efficiency of solar cells using a low-cost screen-printing process.

designed to help universities, small businesses, and entrepreneurs
develop both hardware technologies and nonhardware solutions that will make
solar more accessible for Americans.

The SunShot Incubator program is designed to help make the leap from great
ideas to the alpha/prototype phase or to launch. Does your team have such
an idea?

Up to $12 million is available through this financial opportunity, so we
hope you will consider submitting a proposal.

Thank you,
