Making solar a competitive energy alternative

The power of a Materials House

Material solutions that help achieve grid parity will make solar energy a competitive alternative to traditional energy sources. We can help you lower costs and improve durability and performance in solar materials across the value chain.

As a leading silicon-based materials provider, we’re applying our more than 65 years of experience to bring innovation and efficiencies to the silicon-based materials that are ideal for solar applications. With significant investments including those in our joint ventures Hemlock Semiconductor Group, we are using the power of silicon chemistry to bring solar energy to everyone, everywhere.

Discover how our solutions cover the entire solar value chain, from silicon feedstocks to high-performance encapsulants, sealants, potting agents and coatings.
