6N Silicon is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calisolar, see www.Calisolar.com.
6N Silicon was founded in September of 2006 by Scott Nichol. With his metal processing expertise, Scott identified an opportunity to bring an entirely new approach to the purification of silicon for solar power. He realized that new metallurgical skill could help address two fundamental industry challenges -- the current silicon shortage as well as the long-term industry need to meet grid parity cost levels. Scott was attracted by the exciting nature of this industry and its critical environmental importance. By helping address these industry issues, 6N can materially contribute towards a solution for the world's environmental challenges.
Headquartered in the Toronto area, 6N Silicon is in the heart of Canada's metal processing industry and is surrounded by Canada's extensive metal processing knowledge. 6N has benefited from access to considerable industry experience in processing other metals and applying collective skills to refine the 6N solution. The company has developed a proprietary process for purifying inexpensive, readily available metallurgical grade silicon into solar grade silicon using low cost metallurgical processing. 6N's silicon purification process provides a revolutionary approach to the production of solar grade silicon for the photovoltaic industry.
6N Silicon's mission is to become the leading global supplier of solar grade silicon to the solar industry. 6N's goal is to be the first company to market with an affordable solar grade of silicon that does not require any mixing with electronic grade silicon to maintain optimum cell performance while allowing our customers to maintain high overall production yields in their processes. A true customer win.
