eVjump makes move from Saline to downtown Ann Arbor

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 | Source: Concentrate
The high price of installing solar panels isn't all wrapped up in research and development. Some of it involves good old American manufacturing.

Saline-based eVjump specializes in lowering solar installation costs through the latter, and it's going to do it in downtown Ann Arbor. The year-old start-up is moving to Ann Arbor SPARK's central incubator with all eight of its employees.

"It's not so much the technology of the solar cell but how you go about it," says Mike Medvec, head of business development for eVjump.

The idea is that driving down the manufacturing and installation costs can make solar panel installation more feasible for more consumers. That way the technology can arrive to the mass market sooner by finding efficiencies elsewhere in the process.

The company's name is a reference to an electron volt, specifically when an electron jumps off its rotation to create electricity in alternative energy fields like solar.
