Has Light Induced Degredation In Solar Cells Met Its Match?

Sixtron Advanced Materials introduced its patent-pending Silexium™ technology, an antireflective passivation coating that nearly eliminates Light Induced Degradation (LID) in solar cells. LID is a well known issue for solar cell and module manufacturers, and LID reduces the efficiency of modules in the field by up to 5% in the first few hours of exposure to the sun, thus significantly reducing the net energy harvest. Sixtron has demonstrated that solar cells with a Silexium... Read More
