"Solar Junction's III-V multi-junction solar cell technology"
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Time: 4:15pm
Location: Paul Allen Building (CIS)-101X
Abstract:
This talk will briefly discuss the history of Solar Junction. We will provide an overview of III-V multi-junction solar cell technology and Solar Junction's technology platform for generating solar cell efficiencies beyond ~40%. Solar Junction recently broke its own certified world record for solar cell conversation efficiency (44% under concentrated light). We will discuss the markets for III-V solar cells (Concentrated PV and space power) and the unique technical requirements put on the solar cell by these markets.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Mike Wiemer spent 11 years at Stanford University as a student. He recieved his B.S. (2000), M.S. and Ph.D.(2007) all in Electrical Engineering. His Ph.D. work was on the design and fabrication of high repetition rate III-V mode-locked lasers working under Prof. David Miller and Prof. James Harris. After graduation, he co-founded Solar Junction Corporation, a high efficiency solar cell startup located in San Jose. Two other Stanford Ph.D. grads (Vijit Sabnis and Homan Yuen) are also co-founders.
