FlickrSandia’s microsystems enabled photovoltaics, also known as “solar glitter,” captured a prestigious R&D 100 Award in this year’s contest. Microsystems enabled photovoltaics combine mature technology and tools currently used in microsystem production with groundbreaking advances in photovoltaic cell design. The cells are created using mature microdesign and microfabrication techniques, said Sandia researcher Vipin Gupta. The [...]
2013 SPIE Intweviews George Wang: Developing next-generation lighting using nanowires January 14, 2013 George Wang, a senior investigator in the SSLS, was interviewed about his work in the EFRC on nanowire growth and the possibility of achieving ultra-efficient solid-state lighting. You may view his interview at: http://spie.org/x91938.xml “Solid-state Lighting: ‘The case’ 10 Years After and Future Prospects” paper [...]
Sandia researcher Greg Nielson, team leader on the Microsystems-Enabled Photovoltaic cell project, was featured in the October/November 2011 issue of Innovation Magazine.
Sandia National Laboratories will begin researching how to use glitter-sized photovoltaic cells in utility-scale solar power systems, which eventually could cut the costs of solar panels in half and nearly double their efficiency. Sandia’s work with industry, other labs and universities to improve the design, materials and manufacturing processes of the Microsystems-Enabled Photovoltaic (MEPV) cells [...]
