Flexible solar cells meld technologies

February 11th, 2019

Scientists have fabricated a flexible solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 21.5 percent. The project is a collaboration of Solliance and MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp., an article in Off Grid Energy Technology reports. The new cell uses two thin-film solar cell technologies to create a four-terminal tandem solar cell stack consisting of a flexible […]
