This person who is going to be leading this session and moderating is Amanda Bower
who’s a correspondent for Time Magazine. I’d like to welcome her to the stage..(clapping)

Thank you very much,

I think the incredible thing about this, the people who are going to be speaking
about their innovations and their work is just shows us the breath of what we call
technology today.
We have people who are harvesting the power of the sun, have people who are
sending rovers to Mars, we have people who are working on appropriate rural
technology in the developing world.
I don’t want to talk much because I want to give them as much time as they can to speak.
Five minutes is not a lot of time to talk about your passion and your life work, so first
Tom Djokovich and Tom are you
presenting with, yes, ok. With Arun Maden and they are going to talk about XsunX and they
are contenders for the World Technology Award for Energy for 2005. Tom.

Well thank you very much. Thanks for allowing us to present here. Developing
technology to capture as much sunlight and convert electricity is the business of XsunX.
At first glace that statement might apply to quite a few different manufactures, people
in the photovoltaics industry, but for most companies what that kind of statement really
means is they are trying to improve solar cell efficiencies. They are trying to go from
4% to 10% to 15 to 100%, but for XsunX what that means to us is coming up with
more efficient uses and applications for the technology we have in our hands today.
Now the product of applying that premise to a product is technology we are
developing called power glass. It’s a semi-transparent solar cell. It’s intended
application is architectural glass for applications in industry, commercial, agricultural,
transportation sectors. When the sunlight hits the glass, the solars, the transparent
solar cell. People continue to look in out. Sunlight is able to enter the structure, but
now electricity is produced and then driven back out into the structure for utilization
by the structure. This is called building integrated photovoltaics, BIPV. Very exciting
new area. A lot of potential growth area we see and we are working with our
development partner, Dr. Arun Maden with MB Systems. We have a joint venture in
which we are developing this technology and right now I would like to introduce
Dr. Madden. He’s the true genius behind our product development here and he’ll go
ahead and share with you a little bit how exactly we are bringing this technology to
market. Thank you
