College Trustee T.J. Rodgers '70 was featured on the front page of Monday's Business section of The New York Times for his role in cutting-edge developments in solar power technology. SunPower, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductors, which Rodgers founded, uses six-inch square silicon wafers originally made as computer chips to produce photoelectric cells more efficiently. Rodgers purchased SunPower six years ago for $750,000. Since the advent of this technology, SunPower's stock has nearly doubled, bringing the company's total value to over $2 billion. Photovoltaic cells such as the one SunPower developed are not Rodgers' forte, however, and his company produces computer chips used in Apple's iPod and in high-end Mercedes-Benzes.
