Silicon Photovoltaic Solar Cells with Electroplated Aluminum Electrodes
In recent years the cost of photovoltaic solar modules has dropped significantly, but further cost reductions are needed for the cost of solar to meet grid parity objectives. Electrons are collected from silicon wafers through metal grid lines that transfer the electricity to the power transmission grid. These metal grid lines are electrodes that are...

A Process to Recover Silver from Silicon Solar Cells
During production of silicon solar cells, there is a large percentage of cells which do not meet quality requirements. These cells include broken, low-efficiency, and other defective cells, adding up to about 5% of all the cells produced. Although low-efficiency cells can be sold at discounted prices, they typically end up in landfills. These cells...

A Load Managing Controller for Solar Photovoltaic Systems
A common feature in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is that their power output is unpredictable and unstable in nature (intermittent). Various storage technologies can smooth the stochastic power output levels, but are neither cost-effective nor efficient. In addition, solar PV systems are typically connected to the power grid, letting users feed any...
