Inc. (Nasdaq:ESLR ESLR Expected Schoolwide Learning Results ESLR Equivalent Slr ), a developer, marketer and manufacturer of photovoltaic The generation of voltage by a material that is exposed to light in the visible and invisible ranges. See photoelectric and photovoltaic cell. (solar power) products for the worldwide market, announced today that it has developed the latest advancement in its proprietary String Ribbon(TM) technology for manufacturing solar cells solar cell, semiconductor devised to convert light to electric current. It is a specially constructed diode, usually made of silicon crystal. When light strikes the exposed active surface, it knocks electrons loose from their sites in the crystal. that involves simultaneously growing two silicon ribbons, rather than one, from each crystal growth furnace furnace, enclosed space for the burning of fuel. There are many kinds of furnaces, the type depending upon the fuel and the use to which the heat produced within it is put. Most familiar are the furnaces used in the heating of buildings. . The Company expects this development to more than double the output of its crystal growth furnaces.
