NanoFlex Power Corp. (OPVS)

[trader32]

Just wondering if you have any idea why this went up today? It seems like you said, something big is going on that only the insiders know about. Thank you

[bingoboard]

Somebody knows something we don't. Like all the insiders and families. But okay let it roll!

[bingoboard]

LOOK AT THAT SOLAR ROOF TO BE GOING ON THE HUGE TESLA PLANT IN THE DESERT. WHERE ARE YOU NANOFLEX?? IT'S RIGHT THERE UNDER YOUR NOSE. ANSWER THIS PLEASE. IT IS ON A PANIC SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION. TEAM UP WITH THE SUPPLIER OR CLOSE UP AND SELL THE PATENT RIGHTS TO A REAL COMPANY.

[bingoboard]

SEE POST 80. SAYS IT ALL CLEAR UP TO THIS DATE. ONE TINY ENCOURAGING BLEEP COULD SEND THIS TO THE MOON AND ALONG WITH THAT PROVIDE A MEANS TO PAY SOME OF THE DEBT. SO FAR MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE IS ABOMINABLE. IMAGINE. YEARS OF INCOMPETENCE. IMMENSE AMOUNT OF TIME AND PATENT LIFE (EXPIRATION) LOST BECAUSE OF IT.

[bingoboard]

I have never known of a situation where a company holds a mountain of exclusive patent licenses on what they consider as ground breaking technology and can't find any interest from anyone in their own field to do a thing with it. And, as long as the owner doesn't appear to have any interest in doing anything themselves neither will anyone else.

Best to try selling it all off to someone else who might wake up to discover there's some value in those patents after all.

In the meantime the MM is playing ping pong with their stock making it near worthless.

[bingoboard]

ONE DOWN.

[bingoboard]

All of this technology and money spent and nobody seems to give a damn. There is something really wrong with this picture. No real stock activity to indicate the slightest interest by anyone in the industry as well. How can that be with a pocket load of purported leading patented technology in the Solar industry and considered a huge cost saving on power for utility, construction and the home industries just to name a few. What is jamming this company into a position of non-interest?

When something of this nature occurs it usually comes down to management. If the technology and cost savings are there and are real what are these people doing? This outfit has been in stall motion long enough. Show some action and license agreements or get out. Your time is up and your patents are losing lifetime and running into major maintenance costs. Every inventor who has put their technology into your hands as the "Exclusive" owner thereof must surely be feed up. Big-Time credentials don't mean a thing except titles. It's performance that counts and comes usually from bringing in the right people that know how to get things done. As an investor (and as Trump would say),"Your Fired".

[bingoboard]

Fabulous new "Presentation" under Investor Relations. Merely click on the box on top left side of the page. To say I am impressed is to put it mild. This was a long time in coming and is even dated on the bottom left of each page with "March 2016".

It is this kind of presentation needed to interest major investors to get in now. I plan to do my share to make that happen.

Most interesting is that the company has reduced the number of Patents issued/applied for to approximately 150 from the earlier numbers clear up to 750. They have most obviously deleted the number of patents that have already expired and/or are not worth the cost to keep on paying the patent office "Maintenance" fees that are an outrage and for the small Independent Inventors nothing but blackmail (pay the unconstitutional fees or risk losing your ownership of the patent).

[bingoboard]

The solar industry is scheduled to go nuts from now through 2020 and beyond. What do we hear from NanoFlex Power? Not a peep. Is this not a kick in the head or what. Now the figures for Nanoflex patent numbers are 750 to 800 issued and applied for. Either the major companies in this industry have successfully circumvented all of OPVS patent claims or they are obsolete or terminated or stomped on or converted to wallpaper.

I envy the patent attorney for OPVS for his (her) great fortune (literally) to have OPVS as a client pouring out so many apparent losers. Patent office statistics reveal that only 3 % of the patents issued ever return an amount greater than the cost of the patent. NanoFlex proving the figures accurate to date. All of this only to prove I am a fool thinking this nontransparent operation, up to now, a viable company to boost.

[bingoboard]

Care to drive yourself crazy on activities and estimates on expansion in Solar markets. Here is data that will keep you busy for days. Put this in your browser. Industry news about NanoFlex Power - NONE!

"NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Building-Integrated Photovoltaic's market is estimated to be $90.34 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach $510.66 billion by 2022 growing at a CAGR of 24.17% during the forecast period 2014-2022. Building-Integrated Photovoltaics market is expected to grow strong mainly due to increase in solar energy consumption. Curtain wall is expected to capture a significant market share for its low maintenance cost and properties. Government policies and increase in demand for solar energy are the major factors influencing the market. High cost of installation and storage are the major factors restraining the market growth. The opportunity for the market lies in decreasing costs.

Global Building-Integrated Photovoltaics market is segmented by Technology, by Product Type, by End-user and by Geography. Based on Technology, market is segmented into C-Si and Thin Film. Based on Product Type, market is classified into Curtain Wall, BIPV Window and Rooftop. Based on End-User, market is categorized into Residential, Commercial and Industrial. Building-Integrated Photovoltaics market by geography is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. Major market for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics lies in Asia Pacific.

The Key players in the market include Sharp Solar, CENTROSOLAR Group AG, Ecotemis, Power Film, Inc., First Solar Inc, Heliatek GmbH, Sapa Soar, ertex solartechnik GmbH and Onyx Solar Group LLC."

Look who's not even mentioned as a "Player" in this monstrous market expansion. Not in "North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the World" and not a single patent license agreement from OPVS known yet to exist with a single one of the "Key Players". Absolutely unreal!

[bingoboard]

As I wait and watch the for the next bit of information from our nontransparent company management I imagine all sorts of degenerative events happening. Mostly how many of the apparently useless patents have expired or been terminated because of non payment of the massive "Maintenance" fees due the USPTO. Those and the Patent Attorney fees are a gigantic expense I have to assume are the reason for such things as the following exercise on an "Investor Convertible Note:"

"On January 25, 2016 the Investor converted the Convertible Note into 4,320,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 4,320,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a ten year term and an exercise price of $.50. Of the 4,320,000 shares of Common Stock, 320,000 shares represent interest paid on the Convertible Note pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement".

And, so it goes. Said "Investor" must certainly know what we don't or nobody in their right mind would be putting up this kind of change on a whim as we unimportant and purposely uninformed investors are mostly doing.

I can accept my position as mister nobody or leave. But now I am too curious about it all.

[bingoboard]

There will one day have to be a major operation that will secure a license agreement from OPVS on portions of their patented technology. That will happen when they finally conclude they cannot circumvent the claims in the patent or patents of OPVS. Until then all the competitors will spend untold time and money all for nothing.

But when that happens this stock will explode. It could even come from a government contract as like Lockheed where OPVS may be pressed to make the product themselves as a start. With the millions already spent that should be considered anyway. RIGHT NOW.

This management is incapable of decision on how to market what is under their nose. A decision maker is urgently needed. NOW. Technical brains most often stumble over this problem.

[bingoboard]

AND ON IT GOES
WHEN IT WILL WAKE
NOBODY KNOWS

[bingoboard]

A post from rawco on Yahoo:

"Any company with the purported number of patents and applications for patent that this outfit claims and is still without a single License Agreement with an interested party whereby they would be receiving royalties from those Agreements is totally inept.

They do not intend to make the stuff but to license others who do or will at some future time. Still while merely holding that License they are required to pay some royalty amount that increases later on when production and sales get going. Not unusual even to license an application of record on that same basis.

The fact they don't appear even at that stage with any item patented or applied for is unbelievable. And, if you do not demonstrate any intent to Make, Use or Sell that item the patent office can terminate your ownership thereof. A patent isn't granted so you can sit on it!

This company needs to be investigated if they are not actually working on all that patented technology".

Or at least seriously intending and preparing to License others damn soon.

[Jackgotney]

Very good questions. But if I were you and you actually have a practical use for this technology, then inquire with the company and they may lead you to a scientist or someone who is testing out the technology currently. (The rest of this post I modified from a previous post on Yahoo): I understand from their 10-Q they are working with several entities now (1 formal JDA) to demonstrate their technology. They have a thin film GaAs production process that vastly reduced the cost of manufacturing and this is currently their main focus. But even though they seem think only GaAs cell producers would be interested in this, I think every solar cell OEM would be interested in this. Alta Devices Inc gave a talk a few weeks ago at a conference on Powering electric vehicles with solar Gallium Arsenide highlighting trends of smaller, more mobile, more connected and variety of operating environments requirements across different sectors such as automotive, unmanned systems, wearable devices, mobile devices, internet of things and remote power. GaAs was presented as the best available cell material with world record efficiency of 1 Watt per gram. They can produce 250 Watts per M2 outdoor in bright sun with light weight and thin properties where cells are 110 microns thick and 1 Watt per gram as well as being flexible and bendable. PS I have a feeling, based on that our process dramatically reduces the cost of producing thin film GaAs which has been an international goal going back to the 1960s, that we would have the interest of all the companies listed in 10-Q (Spectrolab, a subsidiary of Boeing; SolAero Technologies, Azur Space (Germany), MicroLink Devices, and Alta Devices (acquired by Hanergy Thin Film). SolAero, and Azur produce commercial GaAs solar cells for highly specialized applications such as military and space-borne systems, which are inelastic to the high prices associated with the technology.). As we continue to streamline the manufacturing process to produce them at a faster rate, reducing costs further, I believe they'll be even more interested. I wonder if Alta Devices presented a device produced using our process?

I have a feeling, just a hunch, though they don't express this in the 10-Q that they must be aware that major companies in the Solar Industry such as First Solar would be interested in their technology as well. After all they have an interest in organic solar and would also be very interested in being able to produce GaAs thin film solar cells at a very low cost. If you can get it down to any where near the cost of Si solar cells you have a literal gold mine.

[bingoboard]

Here's a portion of the corporate release that answers the question I was asking. It tells me little except it's published as what may occur sometime within the next 10 years! Meaning not commercially available yet? Meaning it's still on the drawing board when we can get someone to produce what we patented (or hope to get the patent on first):

"Gone will be the large cumbersome solar panels that you’re accustomed to, and in their place will be windows. Through our organic photovoltaics process, solar thin-films that are virtually invisible can be produced. These photovoltaic films will be used to coat all of the windows of a building, which will in turn generate electricity that will ultimately be used within the building".

Now the simple question is, "can't you put his technology to test now on a small dinky building window and see if it works?" And if you have and it does what the hell are you doing to license it to a producer who can make it in large volumes? Anybody? Can Michigan try it? Can they do it in the California mega million cost facility? Anyone? Anyone know your there? Ever hear of the word "Product Promotion." Like advertising!

I have multiple ideas for the application of these windows on buildings scheduled for construction and/or modification. Or, are they just blowing smoke.

[bingoboard]

I do notice on the company web page the application of solar power windows but my questions is how that works when it comes to application on building windows for example. Inquiring mind wants to know. Will question the guys that are puttering around with this endless development program!

[bingoboard]

I was going to inquire direct but maybe you know if one of the product items will be adaptable for application on glass windows in a major (or any ) sized building for example. If so what advantage is there with that as far as any reduction of heat and sunlight protection. Or, can it be gathering heat to be applied to a source supply to the building reducing other currently more expensive means. Just curious.

[Jackgotney]

This is the main plan. I think this is how OLED (Universal Display Corp) works. But there is also a certain (and not insignificant) amount of reselling that goes on. In OLED's Case it is mainly proprietary emitter and dopant materials manufactured by Dupont and resold to the licensee with a fairly high profit margin. In our case I believe we will be possibly outsourcing the manufacturing to someone of GaAs thin film solar panels and then reselling them either as prototypes or for other purposes. There could be a high margin opportunity here as GaAs cells command a high premium currently due to their advantageous attributes (including exceptionally high conversion efficiency and light weight etc..). Our extremely low cost manufacturing technique gives us a cost advantage over the competition who does not adopt our process. I think this will encourage the adoption of our technology and serve as a potential short term source of revenue until we begin receiving license revenues which I think could start to happen this year. I think every major solar maker will be adopting this technique in the coming years.

[bingoboard]

Here is how I see the business plan of Nanoflex Power. You probably read it already but passed over it too fast.

I think their real genius is this plan. They will not be the major producer of all of the Intellectual Property patented. They will be licensing others all over the world with a non-exclusive right to manufacture, sell and or use that portion of the Intellectual Property so granted. Meaning that company cannot then license any others. Only NanoFlex Power who holds the Exclusive License rights to said property can do that.

In consideration for the non-exclusive license agreement granted to any others by NanoFlex, the company (NanoFlex Power), will receive a royalty based upon the volume of (or any other means of measuring the product(s) made) from that other. Consequently there may be numerous others earning millions by incorporating the patented technology into their use, manufacture or sale of an item.

A portion of said royalties received will go to each of the Universities involved in the design and/or development of that specific patented Intellectual Property that is non-exclusively licensed to those others.

All this purely my own personal understanding of the plan and not to be considered as a fact of the existence of such plan as assumed herein.

[bingoboard]

It appears that few people understand what the statement attached really means:

"GPEC has an exclusive worldwide license and rights to sublicense any and all intellectual property conceived or developed under its sponsorship at USC, Princeton University and the University of Michigan. There is currently no ongoing research activity at Princeton University related to GPEC, although the Company maintains licensing rights to technology previously developed there".

Let me wake you up. First Nanoflex Power Corp has a wall built around the company to keep any others who think they may want to enter into this game that the chances of their doing so without find themselves with an infringement suit for the make, use or sale of technology owned by GPEC (a subsidiary of OPVS) is now next to none.

Meaning when the very first commercial product from OPVS hits the street the stock will be out of your reach. The big guys will have it in a flash. They are already hiding in the corners waiting. The costs spent on Patents will be wiped out immediately.

This quiet little operation will be known worldwide before you can move. Sit there if you wish. Its your decision. Just all of this a personal opinion from the data put out already by the company.

[bingoboard]

Why no newer posts on this board? I think this company was the one referred to BUT NOT DISCLOSED on a yahoo post 45 minute long financial ad as a product that will replace all current energy sources and is scaring the hell out of the oil guys. The reason. The product base is ..... ready? SOLAR PRODUCTS MADE FROM SAND! MAKING IT AN ABUNDANT REPLENISHING CHEAP SOURCE FOR THE NEXT THOUSAND + YEARS....YES SAND!

That's why this companies patents are in position to possibly control this product development and manufacturing process across the world.

The number of patents is massively expensive. There has to be a reason and as they move into the patent ownership "maintenance" cycle will cost millions.

[Jackgotney]

First JDA with SolAero!!!!!

See 8-K - (in yahoo also sec filings - no mention of the revenue but they name the company - a well established High efficiency GaAs solar panel producer.

[Jackgotney]

5000 Shares at $1.75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone notice the 5000 shares that traded at 1.75? That's a good sign. It is only capitalized here at about 5% of what OLED and IDCC are but not far off from where they started. I expect good returns from here as the world becomes informed of the new technologies they've been developing and adopts them commercially. They are at the beginning of the commercialization phase as the technologies are now now ready for prime time. This is the ground floor opportunity trading range as far as I am concerned.

[robweis]

Not at Fidelity.

[Jackgotney]

I don't see any sell limit orders. Shares are no longer restricted. But I can't even enter an order because 'there is no last trade.' But how can there be a trade if you can't enter an order? Anyone else able to enter a limit order?

[Jackgotney]

Any serious projections for how this might trade starting in July? I hope in the $1.00 to $3.00 range. It is hard to predict. I don't know how many sellers there will be. I think the first week could present a buying opportunity for those waiting to get in as early investors seek some liquidity. But I don't think it would last very long as for the most part potential sellers may be willing to wait for licenses and other announcements or a possible sale. The technology has taken a sharp turn for the better in the last year and a half and better things coming.

[Jackgotney]

Restrictions on Selling OPVS should be lifted at the end of June. I think shareholders just have to have the restrictions lifted from the share certificates and then register them with their brokers.

[Jackgotney]

If you are afraid of bad news then no news is good. But if you wish you knew what was going on, then (almost) any news is good especially if you find out first. There is such a thing as too much nothing IMO though. Too much absence of something can be horrible if you wish there was something. But to get back on the topic of OPVS. It looks like no one registered to sell their stock at 2.50 (yet at least), so we may have to wait until sometime in June which is when everyone can register to sell at any (market) price and some stock might become available to wannabe buyers.

[IMASKEPTIC]

No news is not good news?

[dkc67]

What filing?

[GoldMember]

Interesting filing today, anyone care to discuss?

[GoldMember]

I wouldn't be here if i didn't think there was potential which is why id like to get in.

[Jackgotney]

But those are only suggested prices for the purpose of the filing only, not to be confused with market prices. I have an opinion of what the shares are worth and it is more than 2.50. Their patents and patents pending and and licensing agreements are worth north of 3 times that to a large manufacturer. I understand there is strong interest in their IP. Due to non-disclosure agreements, they have to be tight lipped even with shareholders. But it's obvious their inventions would give any large supplier of Solar panels a practical strategic advantage over all the others in terms of cost and quality. Plus they could license the technology to competitors for added income. That said, the prospects of this stock trading up are solid if time their PRs right. I hope at minimum I can get $5.00 before the year is out. I will be super happy if I can get anything more than that. FYI At least one more patent granted today:
>>>Ordered organic-organic multilayer growth:
Abstract:
An ordered multilayer crystalline organic thin film structure is formed by depositing at least two layers of thin film crystalline organic materials successively wherein the at least two thin film layers are selected to have their surface energies within .+-.50% of each other, and preferably within .+-.15% of each other, whereby every thin film layer within the multilayer crystalline organic thin film structure exhibit a quasi-epitaxial relationship with the adjacent crystalline organic thin film.
(This builds on Dec 16th patent just below)
>>>Growth of ordered crystalline organic films
Abstract
There is disclosed methods utilizing organic vapor phase deposition for growing bulk organic crystalline layers for organic photosensitive devices, heterojunctions and films made by such methods, and devices using such heterojunctions. There is also disclosed new methods for manufacturing heterojunctions and organic photosensitive devices, and the heterojunctions and devices manufactured thereby
Cheers, & best if I let them do the PRs!

[GoldMember]

Lol good luck, the recent filings have a much smaller asking price

[Jackgotney]

Last I saw the ask was $20,000.00. That is not low enough for you?I want at least twice that.

[GoldMember]

There are some small amounts of buy orders in for this stock, commonly referred to the bid and whacking is another way of saying "selling to it."

There are 200 shares at $1.25 on the bid. Im sure buyers are testing the waters.

[IMASKEPTIC]

Could you please restate this reply less cryptically?
"Start bid whacking some people have small bids in"

[GoldMember]

Start bid whacking some people have small bids in

[Jackgotney]

The water is soon to boil. Hang on 6 more months before you throw away such a valuable ticket.

[IMASKEPTIC]

Up to 85,000 shares (NanoFlex Power Corp. (OPVS) for sale. Starting bid $ $1 each. [e-mail]

[GoldMember]

well that's what happens to a stock that's in their R&D phase lol

[fmeded]

Thanks for your thoughts.

This is something for me to look into.

[Jackgotney]

SEC has yet to approve so the stock can't trade yet. They are making it take a long time. The way reason is the SEC finds one thing wrong and sends it back. The company corrects it. SEC reviews again, then finds something else. Not sure why they don't review the full document at once, send it for all the corrections and then review it.

[Jackgotney]

OPVS researchers have achieved a higher efficiency than Heliatek - they will PR details in the future. They have the record in thin film inorganic and in organic solar efficiencies. Heliatek would probably hav to license from them to be manufacturiing and selling organic solar.

[threewheeler]

filing looked interesting but last Q shows NET LOSS
$ (1,696,377 ) $ (3,744,092 ) $ (173,959,405 )

[GoldMember]

from what I understand OPVS is trading. you just have to put a buy order in at $2.50 because that's the price point that officers are willing to sell un-restricted shares at. I could be wrong but that was my interpretation of the filings.

[GoldMember]

OPVS owns over 600 patents that can be licensed out. Big money IMO

[fmeded]

an interesting dud perhaps...

to me Natcore looks more interesting at the moment - but not solid enough to speculate in
