Download or read book Material and Device Analysis for Efficiency Improvement in Epitaxial Crystalline Solar Cells written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystal Solar has a novel approach for producing low-cost, monocrystalline silicon wafers that are capable of yielding high-efficiency solar cells. The approach involves epitaxial growth of the substrate and a proprietary lift-off technology. Crystal Solar will send selected wafers and cells to NREL for characterization and analyses. NREL will apply a variety of techniques to help identify mechanism(s) that limit the cell efficiency and suggest suitable approaches for mitigation.
