German researchers have applied the approach used by invisibility cloak research to direct sunlight around busbars and metallization fingers to potentially increase PV cell and module efficiency. The research was
Researchers at IBM’s Swiss laboratories are in the process of designing a high concentration solar photovoltaic thermal system (HCPVT) that concentrates solar radiation by a factor of 2,000 and converts 75% into usable energy.
Soitec, fabricant de matériaux semi-conducteurs pour l’électronique et l’énergie, annonce la première cellule solaire à quatre jonctions destinée aux systèmes photovoltaïques à concentration (CPV) avec une efficacité de 43.6 pourcent.
Here's how to make a powerful solar cell from indium and phosphorus: First, arrange microscopic flecks of gold on a semiconductor background. Using the gold as seeds, grow precisely arranged wires roughly 1.5 micrometers tall out of chemically tweaked compounds of indium and phosphorus.
Sharp Corporation has achieved the world's highest solar cell conversion efficiency of 37.7% using a triple-junction compound solar cell in which three photo-absorption layers are stacked together.
