Engineers from the University of New South Wales have created an innovative method to reduce the price of low-grade silicon, ultimately improving electrical efficiency and lower the cost of solar panels. Silicon is usually the most expensive component in solar cell production, but the UNSW team has developed a mechanism so as to easily correct deficiencies in the silicon. Professor Stuart Wenham from UNSW’s School of Photovoltaics and Renewable Energy Engineering says the technology will …
