NREL Develops New Technology That Will Slash PV Cell Costs

published 2019 年 08 月 19 日 9:30
  The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. has recently developed an improved process of epitaxy which can potentially increase the production speeds of GaAs by 20 times. This may help to cut the costs of III-V PV cells to US$0.2-0.8/watt. ...  more

PV Cell-Powered Drone in the Offing

published 2019 年 08 月 05 日 9:30
U.S. scientists are currently developing a brand new type of PV cell, dubbed thermophotovoltaics cell (STPV), which can power drones for several days of flight. This is a far cry from the existing battery-powered drone models which have a cruising ability of less than 30 minutes. ...  more
