Advance material growth technology for improving solar efficiency
27 September 2009Collaboration between QuantaSol Ltd., manufacturer of solar cells and Centre for Advance Materials, University of Houston has recently been announced by QuantaSol recently. This new collaboration will allow QuantaSol to use the dilute nitrides and thus the manufacturer will get a reduction in quantum well layers into each junction, however will get an increase in solar efficiency.
The technology will also benefit in reducing the thickness of the nanostructures and the overall manufacturing cost will also come down. The nanostructures or the quantum wells play key role in enhancing the photovoltaic conversion energy and the company is hopeful to produce high efficiency triple junction concentrator photo voltaic devices by the year 2010.
QuantaSol, a design and manufacturing company came into existence in the year 2007. It has got a few highest performing products in the world and strain balanced quantum well solar cell is one of them. This collaboration is one of the great efforts made by the company to enhance the use of renewable sources of energy, which will ultimately offer high efficiency products at an affordable price.
