A Career Defining Solar Innovation

Dr. Anna Selvan John is a world-renowned scientist in the field of solar energy, with more than twenty-five years of dedicated experience. He has invented the most important third-generation solar technology — inventions now adopted by solar energy and technology companies across the globe.

As one of the scientists who pioneered nanocrystalline silicon solar cell development, Dr. John created the concept of Transparent Conducting Light-trapping Oxide (TCLO) and various advanced light-trapping structures for solar cells. He was part of the team that developed the groundbreaking Micromorph concept in the early nineties in Switzerland.

Dr. John has authored numerous peer-reviewed research articles, conference papers, and books. He has delivered lectures and chaired many international conferences, and has led various European Union and U.S. Department of Energy solar PV projects. Through NanoPV, he has given rise to some of the most successful solar cell companies in the world.

Strategic Leadership, Operational Excellence & Governance

Mr. Kurus brings extensive experience leading large, highly regulated operations where safety, compliance, workforce management, and customer accountability are paramount. His background managing organizations with thousands of employees provides valuable expertise as NanoPV scales its GW-level solar manufacturing operations.

His commitment to operational discipline, environmental health and safety standards, customer-focused execution, and regulatory compliance supports NanoPV's mission to deliver high-quality U.S.-manufactured solar products while meeting the rigorous requirements of utility-scale customers, federal incentive programs, and non-FEOC supply chain initiatives.
