Approach to liberating solar voltaic structures from the fundamental efficiency-limiting confines of conventional lattice parameter substrates

该项目涉及可再生能源，并利用加拿大现有的能力，为太阳能系统开发世界上效率最高的光生伏打电池。该项目从过去10-20年在加拿大高科技部门收集的专业知识中脱颖而出，使两个大学集团（舍布鲁克大学和渥太华大学）能够与总部位于加拿大的OSEMI加拿大公司发展现有的合作关系。OSEMI Canada（总部位于魁北克省里士满和舍布鲁克）设计和生产外延反应器，还为器件制造商和研究人员提供外延生长供应服务。该项目的目标是将性能提高到50%，这样集中式光生物系统每年可以提供更多的能量，并降低系统安装成本。

This project addresses renewable energy sources, and builds on existing Canadian capability to develop the world's most efficient photovoltaic cells for solar energy systems. Emerging from expertise gathered in Canada's high-tech sector over the past 10-20 years, this project enables two university groups (Université de Sherbrooke and University of Ottawa) to develop their existing collaborations with Canadian-based OSEMI Canada Inc. OSEMI Canada (based in Richmond and Sherbrooke, Québec) designs and produces epitaxy reactors, also providing epitaxy growth supply services to device manufacturers and researchers. The project targets improving the performance towards the 50% mark, so that concentrated photovoltaics systems can deliver significantly more energy per year and lower the system install cost.
