Researchers developed a new type of polymer-based plastic solar cells that bring loss of photons down to minimum. The principle behind every solar cell involves photons from the sun hitting the surface of the cell, where they excite electrons and move them to create a current. Photon energy loss, or the energy loss which occurs […]

Jay Guo, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan as developed a method to improve the fabrication technology of polymer solar cells. He used a simplified process for printing them, and demonstrated it on a large-area, roll-to-roll printing system. By eliminating steps in the old fabrication technology, plastic solar cells could be manufactured easier and faster.
