FiberCell Solar Cells Combine Fiber and Novel Shape
FiberCell technology uses a honeycomb shape that allows for greater light absorption ... by catching light from multiple angles having more periods of "peak" efficiency. The cells are fiber based and use dye from the pokeberry to increase efficiency. FiberCell is based in Winston-Salem NC.
"FiberCell ... strong IP position comes from a portfolio of patents covering its unique light gathering design, absorber compositions, and manufacturing approach.... "
" ... FiberCell absorbers are fully integrated into the light collection system, making it a solar cell and solar concentrator in one. ... "
Enhanced operational lifetimes" ... depends only in part on organic absorbers. This allows for better overall sealant performance. ... During a day, FiberCell can generate up to twice the power of a traditional flat panel device of the same effeciency rating ... Internal resistances are very low for the cells. ... Rugged performance with continued module funtion even when individual cells are lost due to damage ..."
