This research program will develop novel and practically implementable technologies involving advanced device architectures and nanotechnology concepts and combine them with silicon (Si) wafer-based photovoltaic (PV) technologies to demonstrate high efficiency (>25%) PV devices. The research aims at overcoming some fundamental performance limits of Si solar cells by broadening the harvestable range of solar spectrum via implementation of spectral engineering concepts. Several advanced device configurations including thin films, nanostructures, and quantum dots, in combination with wafer-based technologies, will be developed and demonstrated.
