The Energy Center’s work in solar energy takes parallel low-cost and high-efficiency approaches to solar cell design. Thin film cells with reasonable efficiency but high affordability are being developed for some applications, while multi-junction, high-efficiency cells are being researched for other applications. The Solar Initiative Team has the fundamental knowledge and technical skill to enable a successful transition to economically and environmentally friendly solar power.
