Solar
cells harness the sun's power so that it can be turned into electricity.
Both businesses and consumers utilize solar cells. As going green
becomes more popular and more profitable more and more companies are
developing solar cell technology.
For example, DayStar Technologies produces energy storing devices
called CIGS cells. These cells will be cheaper to make than conventional
solar cells. Conventional cells are made of polycrystalline and dominate
the market.
As solar cells’ technologies become more cutting edge competition
increases. DayStar's top competitors include First Solar and SolarWorld.
However, it also has at least 10 other competitors Including Sharp
Electronics and Honda.
