China Nuvo Technology Addresses Current Silicon Shortage

Publisher : Solar Cell

China Nuvo Solar Energy says that its licensed technology based on an invention entitled 'Photovoltaic Cell with Integral Light Transmitting Wave Guide in a Ceramic Sleeve' can address the current short supply and rising prices for silicon.

The Company's licensed technology uses a ceramic sleeve as a receptacle for the various materials used for a solar cell. The ceramic sleeve replaces typical equipment such as expensive vacuum chambers, thereby permitting the interchangeability of materials. Production processes using a vacuum chamber in many cases cannot interchange materials because of contamination issues.

The Company believes that utilizing its technology, if a shortage of one type of material occurs, a shift can be made quickly and economically to a more cost-effective but complementary material.
