News & Updates from Solar-Tectic LLC
Nanowire on soda-lime glass technology for solar cells. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent (US Pat. No. 8,491,718) for Solar-Tectic LLC’s “1c-Si NW” solar cell technology, titled “Methods of Growing Heteroepitaxial Single Crystal or Large Grained Semiconductor Films and Devices Thereon” which was filed by the late Dr. Praveen Chaudhari, winner of the 1995 […]
Continue reading →Link to cite USA – Solar-Tectic reports that it has been granted a world-wide exclusive license for a method of manufacturing single-crystal thin films on ordinary glass over a large area for photovoltaic and display applications. The method stems from a Dartmouth College-sponsored research agreement with Solar-Tectic, initially inspired by a related technology disclosed by […]
Continue reading →Researchers at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering have made a significant breakthrough in the fabrication of thin-film solar panels. Recent announcements by Solar-Tectic LLC, who collaborated with the College under a “Sponsored Research Agreement,” claim a process for fabricating single-crystal silicon PV cells on glass. Translation: compact, inexpensive, and significantly more efficient solar panels. As a result of the breakthrough, the […]
