14.5% Cell Produced Using Low-Cost Printing Process
By Martin Roscheisen, CEO - May 10, 2006In March 2006, our research and development team managed for the first time to produce solar cells with 14% efficiency based on a low-cost nanoparticle ink printing process.
The best cell measured had a 14.5% efficiency — a world record for a printed CIGS cell, and, in fact, the most efficient printed solar cell of any kind, ever. Congrats to our science team for this phenomenal achievement!
The achievement was also subsequently published in a peer-reviewed scientific publication. [The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) certified these efficiencies in August 2006.]
