Laser pulse doubles black silicon’s solar efficiency
Dec 1, 2012 — A solar material that takes advantage of a spectrum totally unused by standard cells could be the key to more efficient photovoltaics, now that a team in Germany has successfully doubled its efficiency. Solar cells convert three-quarters of the energy in the sun’s spectrum into electricity, but about a quarter of its spectrum – the infrared – is lost in standard solar cells. Black silicon cells, however, are specifically designed to absorb nearly all of the sunlight that hit...

EMCCD Camera Aids in Development of Solar Cells
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Nov. 21, 2011 — A nondestructive technique to test silicon wafer solar cells could lead to higher solar cell efficiency and improved yield for photovoltaic panel manufacturers. An Andor Luca-R EMCCD camera images a solar module (1000 × 450 mm.(Image:...
SiOnyx: Laser Texturing Tweaks Solar Efficiency
BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 27, 2011 — SiOnyx Inc. said that Black Silicon, its patented ultrafast laser texturing technology, has achieved a 0.3% (absolute) efficiency boost over industry-standard baseline solar cells. The SiOnyx 156-mm multicrystalline silicon cells, made in...
Solar Purchase
Apr 12, 2010 — Zhejiang Hongchen Photovoltaic Energy Co. Ltd. of Zhuji City, China, has purchased additional PV1200 photovoltaic metallization lines from DEK Solar, a screen printing specialist based in Zurich, Switzerland. As part of the former’s drive to...
Solar Energy Project to be Launched in the United Kingdom
Mar 1, 2008 — Durham University in the UK will lead a four-year solar energy research project with a focus on producing thin-film photovoltaic cells. The £6.3 million study, known as PV-21, will get under way this April. The project’s goal is to make solar...
