Synergy Capital is pleased to anchor CubicPV’s $26 million Series B, joining CubicPV’s roster of leading strategic and financial investors, including First Solar, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Hunt Energy and SCG Cleanergy. Click here to read CubicPV’s press release announcing plans to build a silicon wafer facility in the US and the closing of the Series B financing.
CubicPV offers a compelling investment case with an asymmetric risk-return profile that combines (i) production of monocrystalline silicon solar wafers in the US (where CubicPV has the first-mover advantage domestically and which is the preeminent technology globally) starting from 2024, and (ii) the potential to disrupt the solar PV industry by introducing tandem technology (i.e. panels with two layers of light-absorbing materials that can convert up to 50% more sunlight into electricity than the current technology).
CubicPV presents itself as the only company in the US with a core competence in solar wafer manufacturing and having the largest IP portfolio for tandem technology in the Americas.
CubicPV’s plans to build a 10GW solar wafer factory in the US, benefitting from the economic incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to fill an existing gap in the US solar PV value chain. The use of standard technology provides a low-risk and rapid path to profitability. Having worked with CubicPV for almost a year, Synergy is very impressed by the team’s execution capabilities.
CubicPV is one of the global frontrunners developing the next generation of tandem solar panels. Existing silicon-based technologies are reaching their physical efficiency limits and CubicPV is well-positioned to be among the first to commercialize this disruptive technology.
