Advent Solar

Advent Solar was a silicon photovoltaic company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that designed and manufactured crystalline-silicon (c-Si) solar cells and modules, pioneering emitter-wrap-through cell architectures and streamlined back-contact module assembly. Backed by Battery Ventures, EnerTech Capital, @Ventures and others across roughly $109M in venture funding (including a $70M Series D in 2007), the company's assets and intellectual property were acquired by Applied Materials in late 2009 / 2010. As a physical solar-hardware manufacturer that is no longer operating independently, Advent Solar exposes no public API, developer portal, or software surface; this profile is retained as a network identity record with no API artifacts to enrich.

Advent Solar is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Solar, Photovoltaic, Renewable Energy, and Clean Energy.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
