Funded Activity Summary

Supercharged silicon wafer tandem solar cells using virtual germanium substrates. International studies show that electricity from solar cells is one of the cleanest future energy sources, able to almost completely displace fossil fuels. To fulfil such a key role, costs must greatly reduce. The project targets reduced cost by greatly improved performance by stacking high quality thin cells on top of a conventional silicon cell.
