Dr. Stephan DeLuca

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

In his book “A World Lit Only By Fire” the historian William Manchester describes the events that sparked the transition from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance that ultimately enabled the Industrial Revolution. It is ironic that with the vast cultural, political and technological changes over the past 500 years, we are still in a very real sense a world lit mainly, if not only, by fire. With an accelerating climate crisis, we can no longer afford another hundred years of fossil fuel burning to keep the lights on! We must now rely on our capacity to innovate; to build massively scalable renewable energy technologies that eliminate carbon emissions by 2050.

EMC’s innovation capabilities are laser focused on fulfilling the promise of solar energy. The high capital cost and complex value chain of existing silicon solar technology limits the scalability of that technology and the greater solar industry. Our unique business model centers on high-throughput, Roll-to-Roll solar module manufacturing enabled by perovskites. The 95% reduction in capital cost to produce EMC manufacturing facilities and the simplified value chain is efficiently scalable on a global basis. Furthermore, the significantly lower module production cost will allow the PV module industry to continue reducing prices, but at profitable margins and allowing higher margins throughout the downstream supply chain.

We firmly believe this model will deliver terawatt-scale solar energy that will be a significant contribution to the urgent decarbonization effort globally. Our tag line, “Accelerating Electrification”, expresses our energy transition value fully; our team is driven with a single passion of making the solar energy decarbonization pathway a reality in the next thirty years.
