| BP Solar develops new silicon growth process BP Solar has developed a new silicon growth process that significantly increases cell efficiency over traditional multi-crystalline-based solar cells. The new technique, named MonoІ, enhances BP Solar’s technological expertise in the silicon growth and wafering arenas. Solar cells made with these wafers, in combination with other BP Solar advances in cell process technology, will be able to produce in excess of 5% to 8% more power than solar cells made with conventional processes. This translates into an equivalent module power increase and hence a substantial cost reduction at the installed system level. The first modules to incorporate this process will be available in 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
