In 2021, Canadian tech agency Ubiquity Photo voltaic said it would establish an almost 2-GW photo voltaic cell manufacturing outfit in New York to provide each the area and utility sectors. The trouble by no means received off the bottom, and at this time the manufacturing gear is listed on the market by Tiger Group and GESemi.
The AI and semiconductor auctioning corporations are accepting presents on gear used to supply high-efficiency gallium arsenide (GaAs) thin-film PV cells. The absolutely decommissioned traces are ready-to-ship from New York. The practically 600 crates embrace gear from Aixtron Group, Attolight, GigaMat, SCHMID, Hercules and KLA Corp.
Ubiquity gained the gear by means of an acquisition of Alta Devices, which pioneered GaAs thin-film photo voltaic cells to be used in lots of purposes, together with satellites and automobiles. The gear was by no means utilized in New York and has been crated since.
“The superior manufacturing traces accessible on this sale can be utilized to fabricate merchandise for weight-sensitive purposes like drones that require high-efficiency conversion of photo voltaic vitality to electrical energy,” stated GESemi COO Kevin Shows. “As well as, this is a superb expertise for the area market.”
Ubiquity patents (some acquired from Alta Units) and different IP property associated to high-tech manufacturing of gallium arsenide wafers are additionally up on the market.
“With its PV expertise merchandise, Ubiquity Photo voltaic centered on providing extra energy in watts per sq. meter and higher general energy-production efficiency in comparison with space-grade silicon for the area market,” famous Chad Farrell, managing director of Tiger Commercial & Industrial. “The excessive utility of its skinny, gentle, productive PV cell makes the equipment and gear, patents and IP accessible on this sale significantly helpful to the sector.”
