MiaSolé, the No. 3 producer of CIGS thin-film solar panels (behind Solar Frontier at 577 megawatts in 2011 and Solibro at 95 megawatts), has been somewhat uncommunicative in the last few years, but the arrival of a new CEO seems to have opened up the company to the outside world in a small way.
In a rare public appearance, the firm's vice president of process technology, Atiye Bayman, presented to the Silicon Valley IEEE PV Chapter at PARC in Palo Alto, Calif. last month.
Bayman has been at MiaSolé over the course of three CEOs. Her presentation highlighted the solar panel vendor's reliance on PVD throughout the entire production process.
