PHOTOVOLTAICS INC.
Established 1980
We operate a lab and a photovoltaic business development operation at our facilities in Ft. Pierce Florida. However our focus has changed to only work in the area of electromagnet frequency.
The first and most important fact one must understand is that the market for photovoltaics is applications where you can not get a utility line too, remote villages in Africa, China and India, and the wealthy who can afford systems. It is not areas like the United States where there are established grid lines. It could be if renewable energy from the the South West that would be built to be feed into the national grid through a proposed project called Tres Amigas.
In addition China has taken over as the main manufacturer of solar panels.
This March 2010 announcement by BP Solar of its closing of its US facilities and moving production to China and India says it all for the US manufacturing of photovoltaics.

In 1980 we pioneered the application of photovoltaic systems for outdoor advertising structures where utility lines were unavailable. We built hundreds of these in the United States and entered into a contract with the Chinese Government in 1984 to build these in China. That contract was subsequently sold.
Since then we have developed a number of inventions including a highly efficient multistacked concentrator solar cell using wave guides. This device eliminates the need for vacuum chambers. The ceramic sleeve which is part of the device holds the chemicals and acts as a vacuum chamber in the manufacturing process. We filed for patent on this in the United States, China, Hong Kong, India and Germany. These patents were all sold.
We are currently developing a desalination device and a water purification device that uses radio frequency. You can read about this at our Electro Magnetic Frequency web site which is linked below. Our focus I point out is now in the area of electromagnetic frequency.
The second fact to understand is that the need for fresh water is shared by everyone everywhere.
Below is our patented Hydrogen Absorption Rod. This device uses solar energy to split water and it stores the hydrogen for use. You can read about this at the link below.

Below is a simple photovoltaic Array using inexpensive panels from China.
Over our history we have filed for 38 patents world wide. We have retained 5 and sold the other 33 patents. We kept our Hydrogen Absorption Rod Patent. Again it can be accessed through a link below.

In addition we make nano powders for companies world wide and for our own use. For a list of these chemicals go to our Photovoltaic Chemicals web site linked below.
Below are pictures of some of our reduction equipment. The one on the top brings chunks of 3 inches down to 80 microns. The two devices below it reduce these down to sub micron.
We first use reduction to bring chemicals down into the 400 to 800 nanometer range (+/-). Doing this is an art in which we have years of experience.
We have worked with every chemical used in photovoltaics except arsenic. All of our work in this area is done with safety first. We have glove boxes that are connected to filtration systems as one type of safety equipment.
