Optical Characterisation of PV Cells

Date: 10 November 2009, 10:00 EST, 15:00 GMT Duration: 1 hours View recording

This webinar will focus on the following issues:

Introduce some of the challenges that PV manufacturers face today as they develop ever more superior products. In addition, it will highlight some areas of PV cell development where optical characterisation of PV cells can:

• optimise the transmission and/or emission properties of the base and cover materials, to ensure the highest possible output and efficiency;
• ensure that new types of cells that are developed using alternative, cost-efficient and environmentally friendly materials are actually effective and competitive in the marketplace;
• ensure that new and different types of polymers to be used in the manufacturing process of modules and panels, actually will improve durability and real long-term usage of high-efficiency solar cells with minimal maintenance.
