SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCBB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology that magnifies the power of the sun to significantly increase the power output of solar cells, today announced that Scientific American posted an article -- “Solar Panel Film Increases Efficiency 300%, Cuts Costs in Half” -- spotlighting the company’s unique value proposition for cutting the cost per watt of solar energy.
The piece, authored by Zachary Shahan, originated from CleanTechnia, a popular blogging community whose cleantech-related articles are often syndicated to top-tier media outlets.
Additional coverage of HyperSolar’s magnification layer includes a piece by Karl Burkart of Mother Nature Network titled, “Solar goes Hyper in the U.S.” In addition to dozens of cleantech web sites, this article was also posted to Forbes.com’s “Eco-centric” blog.
Burkart explains in the piece that “as the U.S. government continues to heap billions in subsidies to the world’s wealthiest coal and oil companies, the solar industry has been struggling to make it in the United States. This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is that we’re missing out on one of the biggest growth industries in the world.”
“Karl made a compelling point that solar has the potential to create an industrial revolution of sorts that will fuel job growth and economic prosperity,” said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. “HyperSolar will contribute to this uprising by giving solar panel manufacturers the option to use fewer cells in their panels.”
Scientific American is the oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S., and has been bringing its readers insights about developments in science and technology for more than 160 years.

About HyperSolar, Inc.
HyperSolar is developing a breakthrough technology that magnifies the power of the sun to significantly increase the power output of solar cells. Using innovative photonics and low-cost manufacturing processes, HyperSolar is developing the world’s first thin and flat solar concentrator for standard solar cells. Applied on top of solar cells, the low-cost HyperSolar concentrator can increase solar cell power output by as much as 400%. By adding the HyperSolar concentrator, manufacturers can use significantly fewer solar cells in the production of solar panels and dramatically reduce the cost per watt of solar electricity.
