Additionally, Emcore has received purchase orders from several other concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) system integrators for CPV receiver assemblies.

The backlog for this product line has reportedly increased to approximately $86 million. Production of CPV receiver assemblies has commenced at the firm’s high-volume manufacturing line located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

David Danzilio, vice president and general manager of Emcore’s photovoltaics division, said: We are delighted that Green and Gold Energy has recognized the market advantage provided by Emcore’s CPV receiver solution. This product fits seamlessly into Green and Gold Energy’s existing optical design and eliminates the cost and time required to internally develop this critical element of the system.
