ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Produced polycrystalline copper-indium-
diselenide (CIS) solar cells on flexible metal foils
- Work led to an Air Force-supported
project that resulted in the demonstration for the first time
of CIS solar cells with over 1 kW/kg power density on polymeric
substrates
- Received innovation award from
NASA
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- A joint experimental effort
is in progress with a multinational company to produce the cells
on a specific light weight substrate
- Received over $3M Advanced Technology
Program contract for communications applications of these devices
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Very attractive for many NASA,
commercial and military satellite power applications
- Useful for terrestrial applications
where light weight and flexibility of solar cell is desired
