Dow Caltech Solar Photovoltaic Research Collaboration




Caltech and Dow Chemical will collaborate on solar photovoltaic research over the next four years. The research will explore low cost and readily available direct band photovoltaic materials. ...
... "The arrangement is aimed at aligning Dow’s capabilities in CIGS based materials with Caltech’s research in next generation photovoltaics. Together, they expect to develop new, ultra low cost, high efficiency photovoltaic materials. " ...
Via Dow Chemical: Next Generation Photovoltaics Research Initiative with Caltech

Caltech brings strong fundamental solar research to the planned collaboration. ...

Caltech Solar Strategic Focus at the CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY RESEARCH: "We are addressing these challenges by designing new materials and structures with potential for very high conversion efficiency and which can be produced by inexpensive manufacturing processes. "

Dow Chemical has commercialized solar photovoltaic products. ...

Dow Chemical Solar Initiatives from the Michigan Path Forward Presentation (PDF): "Dow’s Michigan Operations have resulted in a state-of-the-art market development plant and R&D facility to develop and produce a solar energy collection technology called Building Integrated Photovoltaics. These BIPVs – as they’re known in the industry – protect the outer surface of the building and generate power. "
