Nanostructure Surfaces for Photovoltaic Cells
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are typically formed from semiconductor absorber layers. These absorber layers exhibit absorption of light with photon energy above their bandgap energy to generate electron-hole pairs. The absorber layers can also exhibit non-radiative recombination in the bulk of the absorber material. However, the absorber semiconductor...

Skylights with Integrated Vertical Photovoltaics and Refractive Light-Steering Optics
Invention Description Researchers at Arizona State University have developed a skylight design that integrates low-cost refractive glass elements to steer light towards vertically oriented photovoltaics. The vertical orientation avoids blocking of sunlight into the skylight while the suspended or mounted glass optics direct radiation to the cells for...
