Photovoltaic technology has a huge potential in a renewable energy system. Today, however, solar cells are expensive and not very efficient. THINC seeks to develop a new type of solar cells, using
With the key performance criteria for the project in mind (dynamics and energy efficiency) the requirement specification for the 2nd generation Solar Array Simulator has been finalised.
During training of two research students, the project developed new thermocleavable polymer materials for PV cells with a narrow optical band gap, allowing simple production of multilayer structures
