Kaneka

Japan-based chemicals business, Kaneka, has actually reported the design of a two-terminal (2T) perovskite-crystalline tandem solar cell making use of a 145 μm thick commercial Czochralski (CZ) silicon wafer.

Kaneka Corporation has actually revealed that its crystalline silicon solar cell has actually been picked by Toyota Motor Corporation for usage in the roof covering glass of its all-new Prius PHEV, which went on sale on March 15.

Japan's Kaneka as well as Taisei have actually created their T-Green Multi Solar system to be incorporated right into wall surfaces as well as home window surface areas. The system is readily available in 2 various variations-- a strong key in which PV laminates are developed into upright outside panels or wall surfaces, and also a variation that attains openness with candy striped solar cells that are incorporated right into home window glass.

Chinese thin film producer Hanergy has set a new record of 24.85% module efficiency for silicon heterojunction technology. The record was achieved at the company’s research & development center in Chengdu, China, and has been confirmed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin, Germany.
