SolarSlim: the thinnest Solar Thermal Panel ever

Marcuccio T., Costruzioni Solari, IT

We research and produce a wide range of innovative solar thermal devices applying nanotechnology materials. We’re the proud manufacturers of THE THINNEST SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTOR, whose extraordinary size and efficiency allow its integration with solar/PV [...]

Reduction of Collection Efficiency of Charge Carriers with Increasing Cell Size in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell

Lee C-L, Lee W.H., Lee C-L, Lee W.H., Yang C-H, Yang H-H, Yang C-H, Yang H-H, National Cheng Kung University, TW

Changes in dye-sensitized solar cell performance related to active area size were investigated. The cell geometry was defined by introduction of a sub-electrode, which was uniform up to 4 cm2, and showed little change in [...]

Optical absorption enhancement of thin-film amorphous silicon induced by femtosecond laser pulses for solar cell fabrication

Kiani A., Venkatakrishnan K., Tan B., Ryerson University, CA

In this paper, we present a new method for direct-write laser fabrication of thin-film amorphous silicon (a-Si) on crystalline silicon substrate induced by femtosecond laser irradiation. Using megahertz frequency femtosecond laser pulses makes it possible [...]

Characterization of Microcrystalline and Amorphous Thin Film Silicon Devices with Raman Spectroscopy

Wall M., Hodkiewicz J., Thermo Fisher Scientific, US

Raman spectroscopy is highly sensitive to even slight changes in morphology of highly symmetrical, covalently bonded materials making it an ideal technique to characterize Silicon films. Furthermore, Raman spectroscopy is relatively insensitive to glass making [...]
