Nanowin develops solar cell technology, and starts production of anti-reflective thin film and self-cleansing glass, and establishes potential markets. |
|
| 2004 |
Nanowin entertains two leading solar cell technologies: crystalline silicon and thin film. In lab testing, Nanowin R&D achieves 16% efficiency with mono-crystalline solar cell. Nevertheless, Nanowin’s core technological competence is more suitable to develop thin film solar cell. As result, Nanowin switches from development of wafer-based cell to thin film cell. |

Nanowin R&D starts project “CIGS” |
|
| 2005 |
A small size 70mm×30mm thin film solar cell is created in the lab via sputtering process. Thin film cell structure comprises of glass/ITO/PiN/Al and with an initial efficiency of 4%. Nanowin secures PECVD equipment to develop thin film silicon solar cell. |

Nanowin R&D develops CIGS compound power. |
 |
| 2007 |
Nanowin R&D develops CIGS sputtering target. |
| 2007 |
Nanowin introduces CIGS cell. |
| 2007 |
Taiwan MOEA issues letter of confirmation and recommendation. Nanowin is eligible for 5-year tax holiday. MOEA declares Nanowin’s business and technologies are in accordance with the national green, renewable energy policies, and hereby recommends Nanowin for R&D subsidies and grants. |
