Advanced Sliver Solar Cells

拟议研究的预期成果是开发第二代Sliver太阳能电池技术，鼓励产生巨大的商业影响，这将在出口收入和就业方面对澳大利亚产生重大利益。Origin Energy已承诺投入超过6000万美元用于第一代Sliver电池技术的开发和商业化。在扩大规模进行全面生产期间，预计将有大量进一步的商业投资。 研究期间开发的技术的成功实施将导致取代化石燃料技术和相应的温室气体排放减少，有助于政府实现其大幅减少温室气体排放的目标。

The expected outcome of the proposed research is the development of second generation Sliver solar cell technology, encouraging large commercial impact, which would be of substantial benefit to Australia in terms of export income and employment. Origin Energy has committed >$60 million to the development and commercialisation of the first generation Sliver cell technology. Substantial further commercial investment is expected during scale-up for full scale manufacturing. Successful implementation of technology developed during the research will result in the displacement of fossil fuel technologies and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions reduction, assisting Government in its objective to make major cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
