Photovolatic solar cells are renewable energy devices which convert light energy into electric energy. The costof PV devices is still very high. We have deleloped silicon structures for application in PV with benefits of lowtemperature processes, thus less power consumption and a reduction in heat dissipation to the environment -reduces carbon footprint. Si structures can be deposited onto cheap/flexible plastic substrates , process is fully-scalable, compatible with an already existing industrial process (PECVD) , reduces manufacture cost andprecursor to manufacturing industry. The project is aim to exploit the aforementioned benefits intophotovoltaic solar cells.
