The Dow Chemical Company’s high-performance ENLIGHT™ Photovoltaic Films marked a number of significant commercial milestones in 2012 with the introduction of new products, additional manufacturing locations and continued technical advancements all aimed at delivering enhanced levels of efficiency and performance to solar panel manufacturers worldwide.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance are counting on a highly promising form of power generation: organic photovoltaics (OPV). OPVs are flexible solar cells made of light-active plastics and can be manufactured by cost-effective processes suitable for large-scale production.
CRAIC Technologies is a leading innovator in the field of optical microanalysis. CRAIC Technologies is proud to introduce the new state-of-the-art in Raman microspectroscopy: the CRAIC Artemis™ Raman microspectrometer.
North America’s premier PV module testing lab, PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), today introduced a new Soiling Station program for measurement of power and energy loss due to module soiling in the field. Soiling is the accumulation of dirt on PV modules, which can reduce annual energy output of a plant by up to 10% depending on the site location. Rather than guess about the level of soiling occurring, PVEL customers can now be certain about the performance of an existing site, or the expected performance at a proposed site.
Stion, a leading manufacturer of high-efficiency thin-film solar modules, today announced a $2M award from the US Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative to continue pilot production and scale-up of its ultra high-efficiency thin film modules based on proprietary tandem junction technology.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) today launched a new video series that highlights headline-making research from the society's suite of more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed a radically new design for a concentrator solar cell that, when irradiated from the side, generates solar conversion efficiencies which rival, and may eventually surpass, the most ultra-efficient photovoltaics.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Crystalline Solar Cell Market 2011-2015" report to their offering.
The Sun blazes down from a deep blue sky – and rooftop solar cells convert this solar energy into electricity. Not all of it, however: Around a quarter of the Sun's spectrum is made up of infrared radiation which cannot be converted by standard solar cells – so this heat radiation is lost.
EPFL Institute of Microengineering researchers have achieved a record 21.4% energy conversion efficiency using "hybrid" photovoltaic cells. The novel cells were presented at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition.
