Rayton Solar
Rayton Solar is an American solar cell and engineered wafer manufacturer.[1] The company combines particle accelerator technology and solar cell manufacturing in an effort to develop solar cells made of a different variety of semiconductor materials, including silicon and Type III-V materials (Gallium arsenide).
The company was founded by Andrew Yakub in 2013, a former design engineer at the UCLA Particle Beam Physics Laboratory and engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on the Mars Science Laboratory exploratory probe. The Rayton Solar team includes particle physicists, engineers, professors, and cleantech entrepreneurs. Prior to starting Rayton Solar, Yakub founded ReGen America Inc, a solar finance company that operates over 6 MW of commercial rooftop solar.
Patents[edit]
Rayton Solar has received two patents for a solar wafer manufacturing system and related processes for solar cell production.[2] The patent gives Rayton Solar manufacturing rights to develop solar cells consisting of a thin two-micron layer of semiconductor film exfoliated from an ingot using an ion-cutting technique.
Board Members[edit]
Dr. James Rosenzweig, UCLA professor and former UCLA Physics and Astronomy Department Chair, and a world-renowned researcher in particle beams with over 500 scientific publications.
Dr. Mark Goorsky is a UCLA professor and former UCLA Materials Science Chair, and Rayton Solar’s resident expert in ion implantation, layer transfer, wafer bonding and material integration.
