Description
Photovolatic solar cells are renewable energy devices which convert light energy into electric energy. The cost
of PV devices is still very high. We have deleloped silicon structures for application in PV with benefits of low
temperature processes, thus less power consumption and a reduction in heat dissipation to the environment -
reduces carbon footprint. Si structures can be deposited onto cheap/flexible plastic substrates , process is fully-
scalable, compatible with an already existing industrial process (PECVD) , reduces manufacture cost and
precursor to manufacturing industry. The project is aim to exploit the aforementioned benefits into
photovoltaic solar cells.
