Magnolia Solar Receives Solar Cell Patent
Solar cell technology developer Magnolia Solar Inc. has been awarded a U.S. patent for the development and construction of a multi-junction solar cell employing extended heterojunction and step-graded antireflection structures.
“We have been aggressively pursuing more than a dozen U.S. patent applications as a means to protect our intellectual property in the field of flexible photovoltaics and nanostructured antireflection coating technologies,” said Ashok K. Sood, president of Magnolia Solar. “These patents pertain to novel device structures for increasing the efficiency of lightweight, high-performance thin-film solar cells. These novel structures employ nanostructured absorbers and leverage optical light trapping mechanisms to increase the current output of thin-film solar cells.”
Magnolia Solar is actively working on the development of flexible, lightweight, high-efficiency solar cell technologies for a wide range of portable power applications. Its portfolio includes nanostructured antireflection coatings, advanced thin-film photovoltaic absorber structures and novel, low-cost manufacturing processes.
