Robin Lang Receives 'Best Oral Presentation Award' at the PVSEC-35
Dr. Robin Lang was distinguished with the Best Oral Presentation Award at the 35th International Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference (PVSEC-35) in Japan for his outstanding scientific presentation in the field of III-V solar cells. In his presentation, the researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg presented his research results and provided a detailed loss analysis of the production of a III-V multi-junction solar cell.
Dr. Robin Lang's prize-winning presentation was entitled "Development of Wafer-Bonded III-V Concentrator Solar Cells with Six Junctions". In his talk he explained the complex manufacturing process of a six-junction solar cell grown using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and presented a detailed loss analysis. Thanks to improvements in the cell structure, the cell voltage could recently be increased by 140 millivolts.
"Thanks to the improved cell structure, the multi-junction solar cells produced in this way almost reach the efficiency of the current world's best solar cell," said Prof. Dr. Stefan Glunz, Head of the Photovoltaics Division at Fraunhofer ISE. "We are delighted to receive the award for 'Best Oral Presentation'. Congratulations to the worthy award winner!".
