Enhancing Photovoltaic Efficiency with OMEGA Silicon.
Silicon drives the solar energy industry. But bare silicon can only capture 1/3 of the sun’s energy. We will overcome this limit using organic multiple exciton generation augmented silicon - OMEGA Silicon
OMEGA Silicon
OMEGA Silicon - Organic Multi Exciton Generation in Silicon - uses organic molecular coatings to improve the capture of solar energy and enhance the efficiency of silicon photovoltaics.
We are moving OMEGA Silicon from the lab to the production line.
Our Team
Our team includes experts in the physics of multi exciton generation, the synthesis of molecular materials in which it occurs, integration and testing of new materials in commercial PV architectures, PV fabrication, and reliability testing.
The Project
Our project will address a range of challenges which must be overcome to move OMEGA technology from the lab to the production line. Topics which will be addressed include
Device Integration
Module Integration, Testing and Efficiency
Optical Design and Light Trapping
Organic - Inorganic Interface Engineering
Photochemistry and New Materials
Technoeconomic Analysis and Roadmap
