MIT: Textured Surface Could Reduce Thickness of Silicon Used in Solar Cells by More Than 90 Percent
June 18th, 2012
Via: MIT News:
Highly purified silicon represents up to 40 percent of the overall costs of conventional solar-cell arrays — so researchers have long sought to maximize power output while minimizing silicon usage. Now, a team at MIT has found a new approach that could reduce the thickness of the silicon used by more than 90 percent while still maintaining high efficiency.
