Solar-Tectic LLC reports the successful fabrication of the first-ever single crystal heteroepitaxial silicon ultra thin film on ordinary (soda-lime) glass. The sample was made by Blue Wave Semiconductors (BWS) following a recipe by the late Dr. Praveen Chaudhari, and was characterized at SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in Albany, NY, under the guidance […]
Continue reading →Link to cite USA – Solar-Tectic reports that it has been granted a world-wide exclusive license for a method of manufacturing single-crystal thin films on ordinary glass over a large area for photovoltaic and display applications. The method stems from a Dartmouth College-sponsored research agreement with Solar-Tectic, initially inspired by a related technology disclosed by […]
Continue reading →Researchers at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering have made a significant breakthrough in the fabrication of thin-film solar panels. Recent announcements by Solar-Tectic LLC, who collaborated with the College under a “Sponsored Research Agreement,” claim a process for fabricating single-crystal silicon PV cells on glass. Translation: compact, inexpensive, and significantly more efficient solar panels. As a result of the breakthrough, the […]
