Project Description:
Proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of bench-scale fabrication and characterization of a plastic solar cell based on a new nano-technology.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A bench-scale nano-structured photovoltaic cell will be fabricated.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to provide a system with a 3kW generation capacity at a savings of 80% over current systems with equal capacity. The cost to the consumer may be one fifth that of conventional technology.
