Advanced metallisation for III-V Photovoltaic Solar Power Systems

该项目旨在提高聚光式光伏太阳能系统的整体电效率，以提供大规模廉价、清洁的电力。现有的聚光式太阳能电池效率很高(40%)，但它们的性能受到厚厚的前置金属触点的影响，这些触点遮挡了电池。该项目预计将开发一种新的聚光太阳能电池金属化和绝缘技术。该项目的好处将是直接提高系统效率和简化集中式太阳能接收器的制造，从而降低由我们的澳大利亚项目合作伙伴RayGen Resources Pty Ltd.建造的集中式发电厂的成本。

This project aims to augment the overall electrical efficiency of concentrator photovoltaic solar systems that provide large-scale generation of cheap, clean electricity. Existing concentrator solar cells are highly efficient (>40%) but their performance is hampered by thick front-metal contacts that shade the cell. The project is expected to develop a new concentrator solar cell metalisation and insulation technology. The benefit of the project will be a direct increase in the system efficiency and simplified manufacturing of the concentrator solar receiver, which in turn reduces the cost of the concentrator power plant constructed by our Australian project partner RayGen Resources Pty Ltd.
