Weekday Poster Session 4

Location

Utah State University, Logan, UT

Abstract

Solestial is developing 100% US made solar cells and flexible solar power modules with >18% BOL efficiency, over 10 years lifespan, < 3% annual degradation rate, < 400 g/m2 specific mass, >10 MW manufacturing capacity and $20/W price by 2025. This new solar technology will be beneficial for the projects where high cost, long lead times and low manufacturing capacity of space-grade solar cells and panels are the major barriers for implementation. Here we describe the main features of our solar cells and flexible solar power modules.
