Photovoltaic: AVACO today announced the development of a new concept.

If so far the photovoltaic concept has suffered of the lack of great efficiency, henceforth by using AVACO’s atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, the energy conversion efficiency improved to approximately 30% higher than the conventional CIGS solar cell

that uses Cds for the buffer layer.

Connectikpeople has observed that, AVACO’s new ALD process system can provide a solution for buffer layer optimization in the dry process to effectively convert solar energy during photovoltaic development process. The new process can enhance quantum efficiency in both the short wavelength range and near infrared range. The quantum jump in the short circuit current improvement in the I-V curve contributed to higher efficiency CIGS solar cell without affecting the open circuit voltage, Voc. Additionally, this company has confirmed that their new buffer layer deposition technique can be applied to a wide range of CIGS absorbers regardless of the preparation methods.
