ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX), the provider of a proprietary process to produce solar electric glass, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with MVSystems, Inc. to produce a working model of its patented glazing processes. Completion of this step in the commercialization process will bring the use of the Company's next generation technology closer to use in the mass production of environmentally friendly photovoltaic products in the glass, optical film and building industries.
XsunX's management has established an operational plan under which the Company is commercializing its patents through the contracting of research, development and commercialization processes with select qualified facilities that specialize in the Company's target market segments. This product development process is anticipated to provide the Company with the fastest path to a marketable product, the maximization of corporate resources, and, the broadest access to cutting edge device, optical and material engineering facilities and technical expertise.
XsunX has selected MVSystems, Inc., based in Golden, Colorado, as its development partner for this stage of development. MVSystems provides the Company with access to over 30 years of experience in the design and development of photovoltaic components and device manufacturing expertise. "The technical capabilities and enthusiasm MVSystems brought to the table for this project made them our number one choice to help establish a working model and delivery process," stated Tom Djokovich, XsunX's CEO.
The Company's management believes that XsunX solar electric glazing will provide versatility to manufactures for its use in many applications where traditional photovoltaics cannot compete. The anticipated attributes of transparency, flexibility, light weight and lower manufacturing costs may provide XsunX licensees access to the design of diverse product groups that span and interconnect the architectural glass, optical film and energy markets.
