BioSolar, Inc., a development stage company, engages in the research and development of bio-based materials from renewable plant sources for use in photovoltaic solar cells. The company focuses on the production of bio-based plastics components that meet the thermal and durability requirements of solar cell manufacturing processes for conventional crystalline cell designs, as well as thin film photovoltaic devices. Its bio-based plastic materials would also be used directly in conventional manufacturing systems, such as injection molding and thin-film roll-to-roll, to create superstrate layer, substrate layer, and backsheet, as well as module and panel components. The company was founded in April 2006 as BioSolar Labs, Inc. and changed its name to BioSolar, Inc. in June 2006. BioSolar, Inc. is headquartered in Santa Clarita, California.
