3M Renewable Energy is debuting its latest innovative solution for the solar industry at Solar Power International, October 21-24 in Chicago, Ill. The new 3M Backside Busbar Tape 4706 allows manufacturers to eliminate silver-based backside busbars, enabling significant cost savings and protecting against the volatility of silver prices. In addition to these benefits, this tape-based solution has the potential to improve absolute efficiency by approximately 0.2 percent.
In the near future, solar panels will not only be more efficient but also a lot cheaper and affordable for everyone, thanks to research by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) scientists.
SunPower Corp., a leading solar technology and energy services company, today announced that its high-efficiency SunPower® E20/327 Solar Panel recently underwent stringent third-party testing for potential induced degradation (PID) by PV Evolution Labs.
Panasonic Eco Solutions North America will exhibit its end-to-end solar solutions in booth #604 at Solar Power International (SPI '13), the solar energy industry's most powerful, comprehensive educational conference and product exhibition, from Oct. 21 to 24, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "[In-Depth] Cover Glass & TCO Substrate for Solar Cell Technology and Market Forecast (2010-2015)" report to their offering.
SunEdison, Inc. (the "Company") today announced that on September 30, 2013, its wholly owned subsidiary, SunEdison Singapore, Pte. Ltd. (formerly known as MEMC Singapore Pte. Ltd.), and Gintech Energy Corporation ("Gintech"), have terminated a long-term solar wafer supply agreement.
EMCORE Corporation, a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the fiber optics and solar power markets, announced today that it has received the Association of University Research Parks' (AURP) Innovation Award for its pioneering work in the development and commercialization of high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells for space and terrestrial solar power applications.
At this week’s European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EUPVSEC in Paris), imec, a nanoelectronics research center based in Belgium, and Meco, a supplier of plating equipment for semiconductor and solar industry, present large area (156x156mm2) i-PERC-type silicon solar cells with industry-applicable Nickel/Copper (Ni/Cu) plating for the front contacts.
The Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit will be exhibiting at this year's EU PVSEC, to be held in Paris from October 1-3 (EU PVSEC Conference: September 30 – October 4) and will showcase their new metallization pastes for n-type solar cells.
High efficiency and low silver cost – a contradiction? Tests from the German based Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) show that it's not. The institute printed and tested a high efficiency solar cell (eta: 20.2%) with a silver cost less than $ 0.01 per Wp for front-side metallization using Heraeus pastes. This cell is a Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) and the front-side grid was printed using the Dual Print technique.
