Engineers at the Center for Photonics & Optoelectronic Materials (POEM), the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Princeton Materials Institute at Princeton University in New Jersey have invented a technique for making solar cells that could lead to a highly economical source of energy. The results, reported recently in Nature, move scientists closer to a new class of solar cells that are not as efficient as conventional ones, but could be much less expensive and more versatile.

Clare Inc in Massachusetts has launched the CPC1810 solar cell product, and introduced what it says is a new solar cell technology. The enabling capability behind the PV cells, manufactured using the company’s state-of-the-art, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, is its optically coupled solid-state relays.

Vermont-based Northern Power Systems has been hired to engineer, build and commission an advanced, PV-based, on-site power system for Artists for Humanity (AFH) at the nonprofit organization’s new EpiCenter facility at 100 West 2nd Street in South Boston, Massachusetts. The custom-designed, 48 kW turnkey power system will gather clean, sustainable energy using a PV array mounted on the roof. It is the largest such roof-mounted PV panel array in Boston.
