Description

In Phase 1, we have demonstrated flexible high efficiency Si solar cells with efficiency of 20%. In this phase, these high efficiency cells will be integrated into a flexible PV sheets that can yield high power per unit mass (>0.05W/g) with a high peak efficiency (>22%), and enhanced operability over a wide range of incidence angles (>40) for all-day operation. A cost model will be presented that shows this technology, when scaled up to production levels, would yield a cost per Watt of less than $5.
