Interesting Excerpts from the 10K Filed on 12-15-2009.


We are working to develop, with plans to eventually manufacture and market in conjunction with strategic partners, innovative solar cells and solar power products for a wide range of applications based on our technology that increases light-trapping while enabling a variety of materials to be used. Our primary technology employs multiple stacked solar cells in a ceramic sleeve that uses nano-particles and crystal wave guides to carry light from the opening down to the last junction in the solar cell. Competitors’ processes that use vacuum chambers (instead of a ceramic sleeve) generally don’t allow for material substitution because of contamination issues. We believe our primary technology also will allow manufacturers to quickly and economically shift to new materials if a shortage of any one type of material occurs. We believe our technology will offer a flexible, cost-effective solution for increased light-trapping and therefore increased efficiency.

Our business plan is focused on developing cost-effective, highly-efficient, environmentally-friendly solar energy products. We plan to enter into strategic partnerships with companies that can help advance our technology and may also acquire technologies and businesses that will help us implement our business strategy in certain circumstances. In order to do so, we must develop working prototypes that can be readily adapted to larger scale production and manufacturing.

Currently, the Company has begun searching for a U.S.-based technology advisor or chief technology officer to assist the Company with the development of its photovoltaic intellectual property. The Company believes that if the technology can be proven effective utilizing a production ready prototype, it will be able to attract a strategic partner to assist in the development of production and manufacturing activities.

We have identified the solar energy category as extremely promising because of its worldwide commercialization efforts to date. Solar power is a distributed energy technology that uses solar cells to convert the sun's energy to electricity. The major advantage of solar is its abundance for all purposes. Today, the cost of solar power substantially exceeds the cost of power furnished by the electric utility grid. As a result, federal, state and local governmental bodies in many countries, most notably the United States, Japan and Germany, have provided subsidies in the form of cost reductions, tax write-offs and other incentives to end users, distributors, systems integrators and manufacturers of solar power products to promote the use of solar energy in on-grid applications and to reduce dependency on other forms of energy. Nuvo intends to locate and utilize such incentives in the development of its technology, if and when available.
