Xtreme Energetics is building a solar concentrator that uses glass to concentrate light onto a solar cell to boost the output. The company has a deal with Hewlett-Packard to license HP's transparent transistors in its product.

It is now trying to raise money to refine the solar concentrator design and is seeking government research funding for a separate project to make with a concentrator without the need for a solar cell, according to company executives.
