Mass Production Technology for Triple-junction Thin-film Solar Cells
Technology Offer Id :
702
Sector :
Renewable Energy Technologies
Country :
India
Description :
Sharp Corp of Japan has developed mass-production technology for stacked triple-junction thin-film solar cells by turning a conventional two-active-layer structure (amorphous silicon plus microcrystalline silicon) into a triple-junction structure with amorphous silicon (two active layers) and microcrystalline silicon (single active layer). This new architecture boosts cell conversion efficiency from 11% to 13% and module conversion efficiency from 8.6% to 10%.
