STR Holdings, Inc., a leading global provider of high quality, superior performance solar encapsulants to the photovoltaic module industry, today announced plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing capacity to 3.0 GW and relocate the majority of its U.S. manufacturing facilities to a 275,000 square foot plant located in East Windsor, CT.
Solutia Inc., the only global one-stop source for EVA, TPU, and PVB based solar encapsulants, announces an advanced encapsulant designed to prevent corrosion in solar cells. The new encapsulant, branded as Saflex® PS41 PVB, also inhibits discoloration, making it an ideal module encapsulant for use in building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
Call it the anti-sunscreen. That's more or less the description of what many solar energy researchers would like to find -- light-catching substances that could be added to photovoltaic materials in order to convert more of the sun's energy into carbon-free electricity.
One of the most promising technologies for making inexpensive but reasonably efficient solar photovoltaic cells just got much cheaper.
Strategic investments made by Ohio Third Frontier have resulted in a thriving advanced materials industry cluster and are leading the way for technological breakthroughs that will help the state compete on a global level.
Corning Incorporated today announced that its board of directors recently approved a capital expenditure of approximately $180 million to expand the company’s Harrodsburg, Ky., manufacturing facility.
It's a problem that materials scientists have considered for years: how does a material composed of more than one phase evolve when heated to a temperature that will allow atoms to move? In many cases, a rod-like pha...
Stanford engineers have figured out how to simultaneously use the light and heat of the sun to generate electricity in a way that could make solar power production more than twice as efficient as existing methods and potentially cheap enough to compete with oil.
Like an ice cube on a warm day, most materials melt — that is, change from a solid to a liquid state — as they get warmer. But a few oddball materials do the reverse: They melt as they get cooler. Now a team of researchers at MIT has found that silicon, the most widely used material for computer chips and solar cells, can exhibit this strange property of “retrograde melting” when it contains high concentrations of certain metals dissolved in it.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a developer of state of the art flexible thin-film solar modules, announced today that its packaging solution for flexible monolithically integrated CIGS modules has successfully passed a critical environmental testing milestone.
