CPV-15, held this year at Université Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah in Fes, couldn’t have a better start, when Dr. John Geisz, opened the first day plenary session announcing a new world efficiency record in photovoltaic solar energy conversion, achieved by his team at NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO). The NREL team has produced…
IHS, March 10th, 2014 Consistent improvements in technology and gradually lower costs will drive high-concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) systems to superior efficiencies, making HCPV an increasingly viable rival to conventional solar-generating solutions, according to the latest analysis from IHS Technology (NYSE: IHS). The cell efficiency of HCPV systems, currently at 40 to 42 percent, will exceed…
Miyazaki, 2-4 Dec. 2011 From Dec 2nd to 4th, the first semester meeting of the “New Generation CPV” (NGCPV) Project was held in Miyazaki (Japan). Most spectacular result presented, was that of SHARP of a 43.2% efficient cell at 413 suns. Also presented the week before at PVSEC-21 in Fukuoka, SHARP reserachers report this result…
Business Wire, April 14, 2011 Solar Junction, a developer of high efficiency multi-junction cells for the concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) market, today announced it has set a world-record for 43.5 percent efficiency on a commercial-ready production cell. This achievement was, in part, supported under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) PV Incubator Program, managed through DOE’s…
