09/19/2008 -- Germany takes a bow as PV market leader
At DisplayBank's 3rd annual San Jose Conference, Invest in Germany director Claus Habermeier showed why Germany's PV market is so formidable, thanks to proactive legislation. And Signet Solar's Keshav Prasad told SST how the company intends to improve on Applied Material's base technology. -
09/10/2008 -- Spotlight on IMEC's latest solar collaboration
Jef Poortmans, program director solar at IMEC, explains what's behind IMEC's work with Plextronics to create organic multi-junction solar cells with 10% efficiency by 2012, particularly the importance of nanomorphology, energy levels, and interconnects. -
09/02/2008 -- IMEC, Plextronics eye organic solar cells
European R&D consortium IMEC and Plextronics say they are collaborating on development of a new process for high-efficiency organic solar cells using the company's materials and inks. -
08/25/2008 -- Explosive growth reshuffles Top 10 solar ranking
The explosion of photovoltaics production across the globe has completely reshuffled the top companies in Nomura Securities' annual ranking of the leading companies, knocking long established Japanese players out of the top spots. Japan's leading solar companies outline their strategies for this changing market in this report from SST partner Nikkei Microdevices. -
08/18/2008 -- Report: Global solar cell market to quadruple by 2012
The global solar cell market will surge fourfold to roughly ¥4.6T (US $41.74B) by 2012, with much faster growth in the sector for silicon-conserving solar cells, according to Japanese market research firm Fuji Keizai, cited by the Nikkei Business Daily. -
08/07/2008 -- Scientists tout flexible silicon-based "eye"
Researchers created a hemispherical "eye" camera using an array of single-crystalline silicon detectors and electronics in a stretchable, interconnected mesh, an achievement they say points the way toward advanced camera designs. -
08/07/2008 -- Japan players bet big on emerging thin-film solar
Big established players in Japan, led by Mitsubishi Chemical and Sanyo Electric, are putting significant money into major new efforts to move thin-film solar technologies into volume production in the next few years. -
08/01/2008 -- Sarnoff wields SOI in bid for back-illuminated image sensors
Sarnoff exec David Cheskis describes the company's backside thinning technology that enables the use of SOI substrates, and why SOI is a more cost-effective and better performance alternative than bulk silicon for back-illuminated image sensors. -
07/30/2008 -- PV market outlook: A contrarian's view
There's a lot of optimism and interest crowding the photovoltaic space, and this was certainly the case witnessed at several Intersolar presentations during SEMICON West, offering different takes on the direction of the PV market. The first of these offered a decidedly contrarian view about the future (or lack of it) for many PV businesses. -
07/18/2008 -- Global Solar scaling CIGS heights
Unlike its flashier competitors, Global Solar has quietly achieved fully commercialized solar products involving depositing CIGS films and solar cells for modules designed for crystalline silicon. Tim Teich, VP for sales and marketing, tells SST more about the company and its seemingly low profile in Tuscon, AZ, and where he sees the most promising growth ahead.
