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.See the full content of this document
