New technique enables much faster production of inexpensive solar cells

Thursday, March 17, 2011 - 10:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has demonstrated that the speed at which inexpensive solar cells are produced can be increased by a factor of ten – and that this can be achieved without any detriment to the energy yield of the cells. This will almost certainly result in a further reduction in the price of the cells, which are made of amorphous silicon.
