Nanomaterials for harvesting sub-band-gap photons via upconversion to increase solar cell efficiencies (NanoSpec)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

To continue the path of cost reduction in photovoltaics the efficiency of silicon solar cells must be increased. With higher efficiencies more kWh can be produced from the same amount of silicon, which is the dominating cost factor at present. Fundamental loss mechanisms limit the maximum achievable efficiency: around 20% of the incident power is lost, because photons with energies below the band- ...
