The company started selling thin film cigs panels mid december 2007 and planned to sell them at 99 cents per watt much below the market at the time.
Nano solar cells working.
That might sound low but scientists believe that with.
These solar panels are extremely flexible and are sometimes even transparent due to the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles.
Researchers from the amolf institute and eindhoven university of technology have developed a theory and an experimental method to describe how a nanoscale.
The majority of solar cells are fabricated from silicon with increasing efficiency and lowering cost as the materials range from amorphous to polycrystalline to crystalline silicon forms.
The researchers believe that this method will allow the production of low cost flexible solar cells at high enough efficiency to be competive.
They have completed computer modeling and are working on building the solar cells.
These cells use organic and inorganic molecules to combine the excitons or the electron hole pair to create current.
Nanocrystal solar cells are solar cells based on a substrate with a coating of nanocrystals the nanocrystals are typically based on silicon cdte or cigs and the substrates are generally silicon or various organic conductors.
