About
NexWafe is a German solar technology company commercializing the EpiNex® process, a patented epitaxial direct gas-to-wafer silicon manufacturing method that produces high-efficiency photovoltaic wafers with up to 50% lower cost and 75% less energy consumption than conventional Czochralski (CZ) wafer production. Spun out of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in 2015, NexWafe's ultra-thin wafers serve as drop-in replacements for standard 120–140 μm wafers, enabling solar cell manufacturers to adopt a greener supply chain without retooling their lines. The company is a member of the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance and has expanded into North America to prepare for commercial-scale production.
