Finances
● 2014 Revenue: $3,027,260,000
Total Costs: $2,776,030,000
● 21.07% sales growth in 2014
● 66% owned by Total, third
largest oil company in Europe
History
● Founded in 1985 by Dr. Richard
Swanson using technology
invented at Stanford
● Acquired PowerLight Corporation
for $332 million in 2007, SunRay
Renewable Energy for $277 million
in 2010
● In 2014, described as Silicon
Valley’s leading solar panel
manufacturer
Standard Solar Tech
● Standard solar cells made of chemically treated silicon which generates
electricity when hit by the sun
● Paradox in wiring design: larger wires lower electrical resistance and increase
efficiency but reflect light
● Wires are also susceptible to corrosion!
Maxeon Solar Cell
● Proprietary technology invented at
Stanford before the company was
founded
● Same silicon sheet, but entire face
covered by transparent electrode
material
● More expensive, but more efficient
and robust
Efficiency, and What That Means
● World record holding sunlight to electricity conversion efficiency of 24.2
percent
● Power generation is measured in Watts per square yard of panel, most solar
technology hovers at around 200 Watts
● Light bulbs use 60 Watts!
Competition
They Will Probably Be Fine
● Too many idiosyncrasies in each installation for a market leader to emerge
due to product alone
● Industry is effectively propped up by government subsidies and large scale
contracts
