What Solar can do...

Applied's solar strategy includes significantly driving down the overall cost-per-watt, ultimately providing increased and more affordable access to solar. Several recent programs worked to raise awareness of solar as a viable renewable energy alternative. Applied Materials will provide a combination of manufacturing tools, together with technology and process innovations from the flat panel and semiconductor industries, that are expected to enable customers to increase conversion efficiency and yields, helping to lower the overall cost per watt for solar electricity users. Thus, this initiative clearly allows more energy savings.
