Day4 Energy development of new highly efficient solar cells

According to Technology Review website reported, Day4 Energy companies found a new method, by changing the traditional method of manufacturing solar panels, solar power can reduce the cost of 25%.

The company said that the new invention of electrodes with such a re-design the structure of the combination of solar cells, solar panels that can absorb more sunlight, at a higher voltage operation and improve the efficiency of the polysilicon solar panels, The original 14% to 17%. With the increase efficiency, Day4 the solar panels can be compared to the traditional panel have a greater energy, but their cost is the same. It is estimated that the traditional solar cells and four U.S. dollars compared to the cost of power generation, such per watt of solar power generation cost of about three U.S. dollars.
