Factory Buildout DayStar is building its first 100 MW factory in Newark, CA and is pursuing financing and strategic partnerships to complete the project; this creates opportunities for equipment vendors, line integrators, and EPCs to target turnkey manufacturing deployments.

Differentiated Tech The proprietary one-step sputter deposition process enables high-efficiency CIGS-on-glass modules, opening sales opportunities with deposition equipment suppliers, consumables vendors, and potential licensing or co-development partners.

Financing & Partnerships Active fundraising and strategic alliances point to engaging investors and equipment financiers with offtake or project-finance arrangements, as well as joint ventures to accelerate scale.

Market Targeting A focus on grid-tied, ground-based PV positions DayStar to pursue utility-scale developers and EPCs with differentiated modules and a clear path to MW-level production capacity.

Competitive Positioning Position DayStar as a niche, differentiated thin-film option to attract collaboration with established equipment providers or contract manufacturers to expand capabilities and market reach.
