Money-Saving Solar Cells

Summary


RESEARCHERS from Swansea University's School of Engineering, in collaborationwith Swansea based PureWafer International Limited, have successfully developed a new low-cost solar cell which could dramatically reduce energy costs in people's homes.

The solar cell has been developed from reclaimed silicon, a by- product of the semiconductor industry. The cells can be incorporated into photovoltaic (PV) modules, which could be installed on the roofs of buildings or developed into a solar power electricity plant. Photovoltaic technology, which converts sunlight into electricity, is developing rapidly and the collaboration with Swansea University is helping PureWafer's venture into the expanding solar cell market.
