XsunX reboots, claims 75 percent cost savings with new CIGS solar push

Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based XsunX is scrapping plans to build a $40 million amorphous silicon thin-film solar module manufacturing facility. But its new plan comes at one-fourth the cost, the company’s CEO Tom Djokovich told the Cleantech Group.

The company is repositioning itself, with a new business model that could even bring the company back to its roots in the building-integrated photovoltaic market. The company reorganized in late 2003 as a developer of semi-transparent cells for use in windows, according to an Aug. 7 Cleantech report.
