Multijunction Solar Cell with Thin-Film Polycrystalline Low-Bandgap Bottom Cell
There is a need for solar cells with highly efficient light-to-electricity conversion and lower cost. Multijunction cells, which include multiple light-absorbing materials, each of which converts a given wavelength range of the solar spectrum, can be used to provide greater conversion efficiency than single-junction thin-film solar cells. However,...

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...
