Ironridge Global previously invested over $500,000 for XsunX, Inc., to enable it to develop, assemble and configure its CIGSolar TFPV solar cell evaporation system.

“According to the 2013 Small Business Sustainability Report, growth rates of green product segments are outpacing traditional alternatives. driven in large part by growing consumer demand for earth-friendly biodegradable products,” commented John C. Kirkland, Managing Director of Ironridge Global Partners, LLC.

“The solar electric market remains on pace for another record year, with 4.4 gigawatts of photovoltaic power projected to come online in 2013, according to the most recent market insight report by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association.
