Contact engineering for solar manufacturing

More voltage.
More value.
The same platform.

A novel p-type contact technology, with an initial retrofit focus on n-type TOPCon cells. We aim to capture the value through asset-light IP licensing.

Commercial scenario

One interface. Two value pools.

Better factory economics.
Stronger generating assets.

SiVolt targets a contact-level improvement where small changes in cell performance can create substantial value across the solar chain.

For manufacturers

More margin from
every module.

An estimated $10–13 additional margin per module, with an intended retrofit path inside existing TOPCon production.

Why start with TOPCon?

A large existing
manufacturing platform.

TOPCon means tunnel oxide passivated contact — an established silicon solar-cell architecture. Our initial integration programme focuses on improving its front contact while retaining the underlying manufacturing sequence.

This creates a route to scale through licensing into existing production capacity. TOPCon is our initial industrial focus; compatibility with other cell architectures will be assessed separately.

The SiVolt business model

Own the IP.
License the process.
Scale with adoption.

Manufacturers invest in production assets. Developers own the generating projects. Our commercial model focuses on long-term licensing royalties for enabling the improvement.

An asset-light IP platform serving the manufacturing capacity the industry already owns.

A clear path to bankability

Promising evidence.
Defined next milestones.

The laboratory signal is the starting point. Commercial adoption depends on repeatable industrial performance, reliable modules and independently measured field data.
