Researchers at Colorado State University have found that adding selenium to cadmium telluride thin film solar cells increases efficiency to as much as 22%.
Thin film solar cells may sound like shrinking violets — after all, they are thin — but they are about to get an acid test in the subzero climate of Antarctica, where they will equip researchers from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Polar Meteorological Science Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Science. Got all … [continued]
Picktricity of Massachusetts has installed thin film solar panels on the top of oil storage tanks owned by Sprague Energy. The results have exceeded all expectations.
The super thin film solar technology of Colorado-based Ascent Solar was nurtured along in part by US taxpayers through the Energy Department during the Obama Administration, and now the company has won a juicy slot for in a high profile, “solar sail” deep space project.
A common polymer the thickness of a large virus could bring about a “sustainable revolution” of low cost, high volume, rapid payback solar cells
Japan’s Solar Frontier comes up with a killer combo, a new low cost thin film solar manufacturing model and a new solar conversion efficiency record, too.
Right back at you, Breakthrough Energy Coalition: a US thin film solar company pushes back against the notion that only nuclear energy can save the world.
Those contemplating the immediate future of the thin film solar cell material market now have an interesting new resource to draw from, with the release of a comprehensive new report on the subject from ReportsnReports. The report — titled Thin Film Material Market By Type (CdTe, CIGS, a-Si, Others), End-User … [continued]
The Laboratory for Photovoltaics at the University of Luxembourg has recently devised a new method to observe the causes of and prevent solar cell degradation before solar cell production is even finished. This will have huge effects on the solar cell manufacturing industry because of how fast chemical damage … [continued]
