Why was 6N Silicon founded?
6N Silicon was founded by Scott Nichol in September of 2006. Scott is a serial entrepreneur with over a decade of executive experience in metal processing. With his metal processing expertise, Scott realized that he could bring an entirely new approach to the purification of silicon for solar power. He could see an opportunity to solve two fundamental industry problems — the current critical problem in the solar industry as well as help meet the long-term industry goal of meeting grid parity. Scott was attracted by the exciting nature of this industry and its critical environmental importance. By helping address these industry issues, 6N can contribute towards a solution for a much larger challenge.
