Sunworks’ Patent For Its Solar3D Cell to Be Granted by Chinese Patent Office
ROSEVILLE, CA (June 9, 2016) -- Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW), a leading provider of solar power solutions, announced that its Solar3D Technology Division has received confirmation that the Chinese Patent Office intends to grant a Patent for the Solar3D Cell, its 3-dimensional solar cell technology. Completion of the grant is expected to occur around August of 2016, provided that no delays occur in the patent office.
Sunworks CEO, Jim Nelson, said, “The mission of Sunworks has always been to further the widespread adoption of solar power by deploying affordable, state-of-the-art systems and developing breakthrough new solar technologies. The anticipated grant of this patent is a key milestone to bringing the Solar3D Cell to the global stage.”
The patent, once granted, is anticipated to help Sunworks accelerate its work with manufacturers in pursuit of the commercialization of the Solar3D Cell.
The decision to grant the patent specifically applies to Sunworks’ Three-Dimensional Power Systems and Methods of Making Same. Securing the patent in China is a key to protecting Sunworks’ proprietary cell which collects sunlight from a wide angle and causes light to bounce within the cell’s 3-dimensional microstructures until fully absorbed thus maximizing the conversion of sunlight into electricity. |
