Examples
-
The physicists, working at the University of Georgia, are also experimenting with adding the material to solar cells, to increase light-trapping efficiency.
-
By combining a quantum-structured active region with advanced light-trapping strategies, we have a pathway to achieve high solar electric conversion efficiency greater than 30% over a wider range of operating conditions.

-
Magnolia Solar recently presented evidence that its single-junction photovoltaic devices incorporating light-trapping techniques can actually exceed expected theoretical voltage performance and its antireflective coating can achieve very high transmission rates -- two ingredients necessary for the operation of ultra-high-efficiency solar cells throughout the day.
