The PRIMA facility with TNO's Star Separators was successfully tested during a "first light" test at the beginning of September. PRIMA will set a new benchmark in astrometry and will enable exoplanet detection with high precision astrometric measurements as well as imaging of faint objects.
Konarka Technologies, Inc., an innovator in development and commercialization of Power Plastic®, a material that converts light to energy, today announced the company has obtained an exclusive license for a new family of photoactive polymers (polycarbazoles - PCZ) developed by Professor Mario Leclerc, director of the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Research Center of Université Laval (CERSIM) and director of the Quebec Center on Functional Materials (CQMF). Konarka and Université Laval have been collaborating for the past four years.
Spire Corporation, a global solar company providing turnkey solar factories and capital equipment to manufacture photovoltaic modules worldwide, today announced that it has received a contract from GreenBrilliance to provide a turnkey photovoltaic module assembly line for that company's operation in India.
Manufacturing capacity for thin-film and organic photovoltaics is expected to grow from approximately 2 GWp (Gigawatts at peak sunlight) this year to 29 GWp by 2015 according to a new report from NanoMarkets, an industry analyst firm based here.
Veeco Instruments Inc., announced today that it has become a charter member in the CPV Consortium, a global industry organization that supports the development and long-term success of the concentrator photovoltaics industry, with the goal of providing a low-cost, reliable source of renewable energy.
Nano-C, Inc., leading developer of nanostructured carbon materials, today announced that it has been issued U.S. Patent Nos. 7,335,344 and 7,396,520 by the Department of Commerce's United States Patent and Trademark Office. These newly issued patents cover the manufacture of Nano-C's core products, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.
Arch Aluminum and Glass Co., Inc. has developed innovative new mirror manufacturing techniques to meet the demand for lower cost and more efficient concentrator photovoltaic units in the burgeoning renewable energy industry.
The Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA) concluded its Green Photonics forum today examining the role of optoelectronics in a sustainable future. The various segments represented at the forum developed trend maps reflecting the ways that optoelectronics is enabling many aspects of the green revolution.
ERG Renew (ERG Group) and Permasteelisa will enter into the nextgeneration photovoltaic panels sector through their participation in a cutting edge research and development technological project for the production of non-silicon based solar panels. The objective is to develop over the next four years so-called "organic" photovoltaic cells and to start-up an industrial production line of DSSC panels (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells). This innovative technology utilises light-sensitive organic pigments and nanotechnology to generate electricity.
Solar Thin Films, Inc., a developer, manufacturer and marketer of manufacturing equipment for the production of "thin-film" amorphous silicon (a-Si) photovoltaic modules, has received $3.6 million from Grupo Unisolar, S.A. ("Grupo Unisolar") against the $12.3 million contract to build a 5MW turn-key amorphous silicon (a-Si) module thin-film photovoltaic manufacturing plant in Spain.
