Funded Activity Summary

Development of Bulk Silicon Photovoltaic Devices. This project addresses a range of key issues relevant to silicon solar cells bound by the common feature of reducing cell costs by improving the cell's energy conversion efficiency. An innovative component of the project involves merging two streams of work whereby the high performance attributes of the world record efficiency laboratory devices are adapted for use with state-of-the-art commercial Solar Cell technology. The corresponding developments will be particularly important in an industry set to grow by more than a factor of ten over the next decade.
