At first glance, Midland, Mich., where March temperatures can plunge as low as 20 degrees, seems an unlikely place for a major breakthrough in solar power technology.
But that’s what happened in mid-September when giant Dow Corning announced a breakthrough in solar cell technology - one that could allow the nation’s utilities, plants and homes to capture far more of the sun’s vast store of sustainable energy.
Not only that, but the company, which is planning to invest $5 billion in various solar technologies, also said it will build a plant in a nearby township to manufacture monosilane gas that will make the photovoltaic cells in solar panels dramatically more efficient. All told, Dow Corning will be creating more than 300 permanent jobs at solar production facilities in its financially distressed home state.Read Full Article
