Dallas, Texas (August 12, 2011) – StockGuru Shines its Spotlight on Magnolia Solar Corporation (OTCBB: MGLT) (“Magnolia Solar”) The Company announced August 11, 2011, that it has filed its 10Q for the second quarter of 2011, and highlights recent accomplishments relating to its development of ultrahigh-efficiency nanostructure-based solar cells for Defense and commercial applications. The Company closed on August 11, 2011, at $0.25, not trading on that date. The Company’s fifty-two week range is $1.05 – 0.15.
Ashok K. Sood, PhD, President and CEO of Magnolia Solar, commented: “This was a significant quarter for Magnolia Solar, as we continue to develop our core technologies to improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells for both the Defense and commercial markets. Our team of accomplished scientists allows the company to compete at the highest levels, which was reflected in the research contracts that we won from organizations such as the US Air Force and NASA. Our primary goal is to introduce a product which offers significant cost savings per watt and cell efficiency over traditional silicon-based and cadmium telluride-based solar cells, and we are on the forefront of developing this product through our next-generation thin-film solar cells.”
Key accomplishments of the quarter are as follows:
- Continues to receive funding for its development efforts from programs sponsored by the US Air Force (USAF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). These highly competitive contracts are providing Magnolia Solar with resources for the continued development of key technologies for high-efficiency solar cells.
- Received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) award from NASA. The Phase I award is for $100,000 over a six-month period, after which the Company plans to submit a Phase II proposal to NASA to support continued technology development efforts and product demonstration.
- Significant progress made in its NYSERDA-funded program for the development of nanostructured antireflection coatings that will significantly enhance solar cell efficiency.
- Funding form a USAF Phase I SBIR/STTR award demonstrated Magnolia’s ability to grow high-density quantum dots / quantum structures for improving the efficiency of its thin-film solar cells.
- Several additional patents filed that add to its patent portfolio to protect IP for its high-efficiency thin-film solar cell designs, processes and high-performance nanostructured antireflection coatings to improve solar cell performance.
- The US Department of Energy’s recent Photovoltaic Manufacturing Initiative (PVMI) award of $57.5 million to the CNSE/SEMATECH facility in Albany, and an additional $100 million in investments from the State of New York/NYSERDA, will benefit Magnolia Solar. The Company was part of the team for the DoE Proposal to participate in the initial utilization of the facility in the photovoltaic manufacturing sector, which allows Magnolia to use the facility and its state-of-the-art technology without any upfront capital expenditure.
Dr. Sood concluded: “We are dedicated to developing and commercializing revolutionary thin-film solar cell technologies. The competitively won programs in which the Company is participating are part of a larger effort to realize the ultimate objective of third-generation photovoltaics, namely ultra-high conversion efficiency at a low cost to the user. As part of a consortium to be located at the CNSE facility at the University at Albany, we will have the tools needed to develop this technology and we will continue to provide updates as we move ahead.”
