SunEdison: Bringing Light through Solar Energy

Silicon is a key ingredient in the creation of solar panels. Solar panels are used around the world as an alternative means of producing energy. These products capture the power produced by the sun and then transform it into usable energy. The beauty of solar energy is it captures renewable energy. Although costly during its installation, users are able to save more in the long run.

SunEdison has taken on the challenge of creating innovative technology that would lessen the cost of the creation of these silicon while maintaining its efficiency and life. Using the technology referred to as high pressure fluidized bed reactor, SunEdison is able to create solar panels that use silicon that are 10 times more efficient than regular silicons. Part of the company’s accomplishment in 2014 is the installation of the largest solar plant in South America. The project was completed in just three months and now helps power more than 20,000 homes in the region.

As an innovation company, SunEdison intends to bring light to those who are living in the dark. Ironic as it may seem that despite the advancing technology, there are still communities out there that are living in darkness. This challenge has been taken on by SunEdison and they intend to start providing access to electricity to some remote villages in India. Through solar electricity and their state of the art solar panels, the company was able to provide light and electricity to more than 7,800 people in 54 remote communities in the country.

Today, SunEdison continues to create solar panels that make a difference in the lives of everyone. Not only is the company able to power the daily activities we have, it also saves the environment and lessens the destruction of the earth through renewable energy. The company is headquartered in Belmont, California with another office in St. Peters, Missouri.
