A newly created four-junction stacked CPV solar cell from the manufacturer Semprius brings the industry one step closer to the oft-stated goal of a solar cell with a 50% conversion efficiency. The North Carolina–based developer says that its latest four-junction, four-terminal solar cell — which utilizes Sempius’ micro transfer process … [continued]
You know we’re getting somewhere when record-shattering solar power efficiency marks are popping up faster than zombies at your local Comic Con, so let’s hear it for the California-based innovator Amonix, which has been setting records practically since it first started up in 1989. In the latest development, Amonix has … [continued]
The solar power industry just got a little more interesting this week, with the announcement that Solar Junction and Amonix have signed an agreement to work together on the next generation of low cost, ultra-high efficiency concentrated photovoltaic systems. If you’re expecting another long slog through the R&D phase, guess … [continued]
Solar cells with a more than 50% conversion efficiency may be a reality in the near future, thanks to new research from the US Naval Research Laboratory’s Electronics Technology and Science Division. The solution to the old efficiency barrier is a newly-designed, triple-junction solar cell that has the potential to … [continued]
