— Non-public-treaty sale contains about 600 crates of decommissioned, ready-to-send production and trying out apparatus from Ubiquity Sun/Alta Units

ENDICOTT, N.Y., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tiger Group and GESemi at the moment are accepting trade in for complex apparatus old to assemble high-efficiency, gallium arsenide (GaAs) founded thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells The immense providing of absolutely decommissioned, ready-to-ship production belongings from Endicott-based Ubiquity Sun—with just about 600 crates saved in South-Central Fresh York—options manufacturers comparable to Aixtron Team, Attolight, GigaMat, SCHMID, Hercules and KLA Corp. (KLA-Tencor).

In March 2021, Ubiquity Sun received the belongings of Alta Units, which pioneered and manufactured majestic power GaAs bendy thin-film sun cells old in lots of packages, together with satellites and cars. The manufacturing cellular efficiencies are 20% AM0 for space-based packages and 26% AM1.5 for terrestrial packages. Those thin-film GaAs PV cells, have some of the best possible power-to-weight ratio within the business at greater than 800 watts in line with kilogram, famous GESemi Important Running Officer Kevin Shows.

“The advanced production lines available in this sale can be used to manufacture products for weight-sensitive applications like drones that require high-efficiency conversion of solar energy to electricity,” he mentioned. “In addition, this is an excellent technology for the space market.”

One of the MOCVDs are brand-new and configured for generating Gallium Nitride (GaN) founded semiconductor units and feature now not been changed for GaAs packages.

“There are countless other potential applications for thin-flexible GaAs PV cells, including satellites and electric vehicles,” Display mentioned. “This sale represents a tremendous opportunity to advance your business by acquiring game-changing tech at liquidation values.”

Additionally to be had are patents (just about 200 in all) and highbrow component (IP) belongings indistinguishable to the high-tech develop of gallium arsenide wafers.

“With its PV technology products, Ubiquity Solar focused on offering more power in watts per square meter and better overall energy-production performance compared to space-grade silicon for the space market,” famous Chad Farrell, Managing Director, Tiger Commercial & Industrial. “The high utility of its thin, light, productive PV cell makes the machinery and equipment (M&E), patents and IP available in this sale particularly valuable to the sector.

Categories include: PVD sputter, MOCVD, surface-preparation, ELO, plating lines, wet processing, test and measurement, inspection, analysis lab and plant support/IT. It includes all the equipment to produce about 150kWp(AM0) year of thin-film GaAs-PV cells from the Alta Devices pilot line but none of the utility support equipment, buildings, or permitting to put into operation. It also includes some of the equipment to expand to 1.5MWp(AM0) per year of production.
