Miasole raises $35mm

There are scant publicly-available details, but VentureWire broke the story today that CIGS player Miasole has raised a $35mm round of financing (self-promotion alert: I am a very minor personal shareholder). Matt Marshall has some of the details, and also notes that the company is not alone among thin-film solar startups seeking funding right now... Existing investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, VantagePoint Venture Partners, Firelake Strategic Technology Fund, Garage Technology Ventures and Nippon Kouatsu Electric Co.
