Smart light collecting system for the efficiency enhancement of solar cells (EPHOCELL)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

The main objective of this project is the study of the various intra and intermolecular energy transfers with the aims to modify the solar spectrum by means of an adequate molecular system. This will permit to improve the similitude between the solar radiation and the absorbance of the photovoltaic materials. This change of spectrum must be realized without significant loss of energy by means of e ...
