Spanish researchers develop ultra-thin solar cells for any surface

The Silicon and New Concepts for Solar Cells (SyNC) research group at the Institute of Solar Energy (IES) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) has produced high-efficiency two-dimensional solar cell prototypes using the "hot-pick-up" technique, with simulations suggesting the cells could meet up to 30% of a building's energy needs when applied to facades. Italia Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Madrid have been studying two-dimensional PV materials thin enough to be considered effectively without a third dimension, yet capable of absorbing significant amounts of light. The ...
