Cleantechblog offer some tantalising speculation about IBMs move into the solar cell business. Greenwash, or clean-up? We will have a better idea in the next eighteen months.

I did not ask, and he did not offer, any particulars on the work in progress, but he did make mention of a few points that I thought were well worth repeating:<BR /><UL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">IBM is expecting to be a player in the solar cell business – likely seeing commercial impact in the next 18 months to two years. </LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">IBM is developing both advanced crystalline technologies and CIGS processes – relying on their semiconductor manufacturing expertise and nanotech research to make breakthroughs in controlling PV manufacturing processes. </LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">You will not likely see IBM making branded modules – perhaps instead a cell production business strategy? </LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">IBM sees the potential for very high efficiency multi-junction cells in foreseeable future.</LI></UL><DIV>The fascinating part is that IBM is not a newcomer to the game. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D7E55E69-3067-45BD-AB39-87C3C25AECC0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
