Lightwave Power, a Cambridge, MA, startup developing a roll-to-roll process for manufacturing solar cells on flexible substrates, said today that it has closed a Series A financing round led by Quercus Trust, a stealthy Southern California investment group. 21Ventures of New York was named as a co-investor. Lightwave’s announcement did not disclose the amount of the investment, but a report in Earth2tech puts it at $13 million.
