The Center for Economic and Environmental Partnership, Inc., will sponsor its next New York Energy & Environmental Funders’ meeting on Friday, March 12, 2010.

AccuStrata, Inc. has developed an intelligent, real-time optical control system able to improve thin film solar cell manufacturing, resulting in 10-20% higher solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency and reduced cost. This results in higher profits for manufacturers and/or lower costs for end users. A 10-20% efficiency improvement is sufficient to substantially increase the deployment of solar power and make it a feasible alternative to the fossil based energy sources.

Today, solar cell substrates (panels) enter high vacuum and high temperature chambers where layer after layer of various thin film materials are deposited onto the desired surface. They exit only after all the layers of solar thin film material are deposited, typically after a couple of hours. Only then can the manufacturers test the panels' efficiency and identify any errors in the process. The lower quality panels are then discarded or sold as inferior, and the engineers make process adjustments for the next batch. This “post-factum” correction is largely responsible for thin-film panels having an 8-10 % efficiency compared with about 20 % for poly-silicon panels.
