The EMCORE products will be used in systems developed for commercial rooftop installations as well as utility-size solar farms. The award of these contracts affirms EMCORE’s position as the leading supplier of CPV products, and other semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the broadband, fiber-optic, satellite and terrestrial solar power markets.
