Improve Photovoltaic efficiency by applying novel effects at the limits of light to matter interaction (LIMA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The LIMA project exploits cutting edge photonic technologies to enhance silicon solar cell efficiencies with new concepts in nanostructured materials. It proposes nano-structured surface layers designed to increase light absorption in the solar cell while decreasing surface and interface recombination loss. Integration in a back contact design further reduces these interface losses and avoids s ...

Modelling of interfaces for high performance solar cell materials (HiperSol)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
The resistance at the metal contact-semiconductor interface and recombination at the passivating layer-semiconductor interface are two important bottlenecks for improving the performance of current solar cells. These processes are quantum mechanical by nature, but so far most studies and attempts to improve the properties of solar cells have been at the device scale. A main reason for this is the ...
