Trapping Light Inside Solar Cells Can Boost Solar Panel Output By 125%
Researchers at the University of York say they have found a way to make solar cells that increase output by 125%, opening the door to cheaper and more flexible solar panels.
1366 Technologies Announces Direct Wafer Partnership With Hanwha
1366 Technologies is near to completion of a new factory in Malaysia that will supply Direct Wafer solar cells to the Hanwha Q Cells factory next door. The new process makes high quality solar cells at greatly reduced cost compared to conventional cells.
New Solar Cells Can Be Rolled Up Like a Carpet
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern University have developed a new type of silicon solar cell that is flexible enough to be used on a curved surface or fabric. Currently, most solar cells are rigid due to the use of plastic in their production.
