Beet Inc, spun out of Oregon State University Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry, develops materials for thin-film solar cells with enhanced functionality, ie light absorption. The company's thin film solar cells based on a newly recognized absorber material platform, enabling a simple, polycrystalline thin film solar cell manufacturing in a tandem geometry allowing high photoconversion efficiencies. The firm's proprietary polycrystalline, thin-film absorbers are integrated into solar cells to achieve improved photovoltaic conversion efficiencies, lower module and BOS cost towards grid parity, and scalability to high-volume manufacturing.
