ProxEnergy BV and Cencorp Corporation have signed a Distribution Agreement on selling photovoltaic modules, manufactured by Cencorp, in Cape Verde and the Netherlands. The first order based on the Distribution Agreement values for ca. EUR 0.15 million.
Today, GE and First Solar announced a technology partnership to advance thin-film solar cells and modules. First Solar has acquired GE's global cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar intellectual property portfolio, setting a course for significant advancement of photovoltaic (PV) thin-film solar technology. GE received 1.75 million shares of First Solar common stock as part of this transaction. GE has agreed to retain the shares for at least three years.
Scientists have spent decades trying to build flexible plastic solar cells efficient enough to compete with conventional cells made of silicon. To boost performance, research groups have tried creating new plastic materials that enhance the flow of electricity through the solar cell. Several groups expected to achieve good results by redesigning pliant polymers of plastic into orderly, silicon-like crystals, but the flow of electricity did not improve.
Researchers at the University of Basel have successfully replaced the rare element iodine in copper-based dye-sensitized solar cells by the more abundant element cobalt, taking a step forward in the development of enviro...
Forschende der Universität Basel konnten in Farbstoffsolarzellen auf Kupferbasis das seltene Iod durch das weit häufigere Kobalt ersetzen. Damit gelingt ihnen ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung einer umweltfreundlichen Energiegewinnung. Die Fachzeitschrift «Chemical Communications» hat die Resultate zu den sogenannten Cu-Co-Zellen veröffentlicht.
The adhesion of silver metallization pastes to silicon is a vital requirement in the production of solar cells and modules. Experts at the Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit believe this is a very important parameter which should be viewed along with the electrical performance. Mechanical reliability is critical in how modules are evaluated.
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed an inexpensive new way to grow thin films of a material prized in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, an achievement that could bring high-end solar cells within reach of consumer pocketbooks.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Metals Pastes for Solar Cells: Technology Research Trend and Market Forecast" report to their offering.
Dye-sensitized solar cell efficiency has been raised to a record 15% thanks to a new fabrication process developed by EPFL scientists.
The U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (PVMC), an industry-led collaboration headquartered at SUNY’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) in New York that is designed to accelerate next-generation solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, has released the first-ever U.S. CIGS PV Roadmap reports.
