A new joint Australian–US research institute led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will foster rapid development of “over the horizon” photovoltaic technology and establish Australia as the solar cell research and education hub of the Asia-Pacific region.
Nines Photovoltaics, has completed the build of its first industrial silicon wafer processing tool. The ground breaking solar cell manufacturing unit has recently been shipped to Fraunhofer ISE Germany, the largest solar energy research institute in Europe, where it will be installed and validated in a production environment.
The 9th Annual Clean-Tech Investor Summit, presented by International Business Forum and chaired by Technology Partners’ Ira Ehrenpreis , on February 6-7 in Palm Springs, California, announced the line-up of CEOs who will provide insight on the state of the clean tech industry as it relates to the various innovation sectors.
Although it is often the case that flexible solar panels are assumed to be related to organic photovoltaic technologies, that is not always the case. In the CIGS materials platform for instance, the IDTechEx report on thin film technologies “Thin Film Photovoltaics and Batteries 2012-2022” (www.idtechex.com/pv) expects that although only less than 70 MW of CIGS cells were characterized by flexibility in 2012, over 240MW will be flexible by 2017.
Evergreen Valley College, Gilbane Building Company and SunPower Corp, today dedicated a 1.5-megawatt tracking solar power project at the Evergreen Valley College campus in San Jose, Calif.
