IMEC and BP Solar have demonstrated a 18% conversion efficiency for silicon solar cells made of BP Solar’s newly developed Mono2 silicon. By combining IMEC’s advanced processing techniques with BP Solar’s high-quality low-cost substrates, the companies demonstrated that Mono2 TM has a good potential to become a new base material for low-cost highly-efficient solar cells.
