Their invention shunts away the heat generated by a solar
cell under sunlight and cools it in a way that allows it to convert more photons into electricity.
Not exact matches
In theory, silicon - based solar
cells are capable of converting up to 30 percent of
sunlight to electricity — although, in reality, the different kinds of loss mechanisms ensure that even
under ideal lab conditions it does not exceed 25 %.
The research groups created tandem solar
cells with record efficiencies of converting
sunlight into electricity
under 1 - sun illumination.
While the technology behind CBD displays is quite different to the one used in Samsung's Super AMOLED displays (which uses an on -
cell touch layer)- the resulting image quality and behavior
under sunlight is pretty similar in both display technologies.
University of Delaware (UD) researchers have managed to crank up the efficiency of silicon solar
cells to a record - breaking 42.8 percent
under standard terrestrial
sunlight conditions.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have created tandem solar
cells with record efficiencies of converting
sunlight into electricity
under 1 - sun illumination.
