Stretching exercises for crystalline silicon solar cells

Researchers from Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have created flexible solar cells made of crystalline silicon. They claim to have stretched a crystalline silicon cell's surface by around 95% while maintaining conversion efficiency of around 19%.Scientists at the Solar Center of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) claim to have been able to turn a crystalline silicon solar cell into a flexible device. The researchers said the feat was achieved by coating the rear side of a rigid crystalline cell with ecoflex, which they ...
