BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2017 — Solar-Tectic LLC has been awarded a patent for its production of III-V thin-film tandem solar cells with high performance by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent, the first ever for a thin III-V layer on crystalline silicon thin-film, covers group III-V elements such as gallium arsenide and indium gallium phosphide for the top layer, as well as all inorganic materials including silicon, germanium and more for the bottom layer. Group III-V compounds are proven photovoltaic materials with high efficiencies but, until now, have been cost prohibitive due to expensive materials....Read full article
