1366 is committed to a future where silicon based photovoltaics provides a large part of the energy used by humankind. Our mission is to provide innovative, production worthy processes, materials and machines that will drive the cost of solar electricity to parity with electricity from coal. We believe that the beauty, simplicity and promise of photovoltaics are as bright as sunlight itself. 1366 will provide a work environment that attracts a world-class team and provides opportunities for professional growth. We expect initiative, a “can-do” attitude and resolute tenacity from every member of the team. We will strive to create a community of which we can all be proud to be members.

1366 Technologies provides customers with high-performance silicon wafers that both leverage their existing billion-dollar cell and module investments and enable a long-term, differentiated product roadmap. We believe that our technology has immense potential to change the world’s ability to access solar, and our vision for the future is one where solar energy displaces coal as the cheapest fuel source on the planet. We are convinced that this will happen before the end of the decade. 1366 Technologies will play an important role in getting us there.

The Story Behind Our Name

The “1366” in 1366 Technologies refers to the solar constant or the amount of the sun’s energy that hits the earth’s atmosphere per square meter. It’s an impressive number and a constant reminder that the sun over our heads reliably provides all of the energy our planet currently needs.
