The Solar Boat Twente team is realising the first boat that fully operates on energy generated by thin film solar cells. The Dutch solar research institute Solliance, which is based in Eindhoven, is proud to be one of the leading partners involved in the Solar Boat Contest 2017.
The Dutch, Belgian and German R&D partnership Solliance announces the demonstration of an industrially-applicable roll-to-roll process for the production of solar cells, achieving a record 12,6% conversion efficiency on cell level. This breakthrough result paves the way towards an accelerated market introduction of this attractive new source of renewable energy.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of lightweight and flexible thin-film photovoltaic solutions headquartered in Thornton, Colorado, announced that it has secured a major contract from an Asian customer to supply its high-voltage, superlight thin-film module for an advanced aerospace application.
