Scalable LowCost Nanowire Solar Photovoltaic Cell Innovation
GE Research demonstrates silicon nanowire solar cell with higher efficiency and lower production costs. This achievement was the result of collaboration between researchers at GE's Global Research team and the GE Energy - Solar Technologies line of business, proving that large companies can still innovate. The findings were published in the Applied Physics Letters journal. ...
... "scientists on their Nano Photovoltaics (PV) team have demonstrated a scalable silicon nanowire-based solar cell, which has the potential to achieve up to 18% efficiency and be produced at a dramatically lower cost than conventional solar cells. This demonstration represents a promising development in the effort to make PV systems more economically viable for consumers.
