Advanced metallisation for III-V Photovoltaic Solar Power Systems

该项目旨在提高聚光光伏太阳能系统的整体电力效率，提供大规模廉价清洁电力。现有的聚光太阳能电池效率很高（>40%），但它们的性能受到厚的正面金属接触的阻碍。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聚光器太阳能接收器的制造，这反过来又降低了由我们的澳大利亚项目合作伙伴RayGen Resources Pty Ltd建造的聚光器发电厂的成本。

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.
