Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase I year
2004
Phase I Amount
$99,935
We propose to fabricate high efficiency CIGS solar cells on lightweight and flexible ceramic substrates using ISET's patented ink-based process. The project has the potential to achieve AM0 solar cell efficiency about 11% and specific power density in the range of 1300 to 1500 watts/kg. The success of this process will have a beneficial impact on both the high altitute airship and terrestrial solar power markets

Phase II

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase II year
2005
Phase II Amount
$746,640
We propose to fabricate high efficiency CIGS solar cells and monolithically integrated submodules on lightweight and flexible ceramic substrates using ISETÂ’s patented ink-based process. The project has the potential to achieve an AM0 solar cell efficiency of 11% and specific power density in the range of 1300 to 1400 W/kg. The success of this project will have a beneficial impact on both, high altitude airship and terrestrial solar power markets.
