The extension, which brings 1366\u2019s total amount raised to $69.5 million, will be used for the construction of a 250-megawatt manufacturing facility that will initially produce 60 million standard silicon wafers per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c1366\u2019s technology will be uniquely important to the global silicon solar manufacturing chain which continues to seek new methods to strip out costs in the manufacturing process while increasing quality and efficiency,\u201d said Yuquan Wang, Founding Partner, Haiyin Capital. \u201cWith Direct Wafer, the 1366 team provides an answer. We see the great potential for their technology in China and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1366 Technologies\u2019 Direct Wafe forms multi-crystalline wafers directly from molten silicon instead of the more common multi-step, energy- and capital-intensive process. The technology replaces several inefficient machines with one, uses 50% less silicon than traditional methods and creates meaningful environmental benefits by eliminating slurry, a highly abrasive liquid used during wafer cutting and polishing, and halving silicon waste.<\/p>\n<p>This extension brings 1366\u2019s total amount raised to US$69.5 million.
