Bloo Solar has started its ‘Solar Brush’ wafer development production run, which it plans to bring to market with initial commercial modules in 2012.
Bloo Solar claims that its ‘Solar Brush’ is a third generation technology that has many advantages over existing PV technologies that rely on traditional planar solar cells.
The three dimensional single junction architecture provides more surface area, superior light trapping and minimum recombination to provide higher efficiency and a total power output up to 1.5 to 3 times higher than current technologies, Bloo Solar added.
Karlheinz Strobl, VP of business development of CVD, said: “CVD Equipment Corporation is focusing on enabling the commercialization of tomorrow’s technologies.
“Through the combination of our Application Laboratory with our experience in designing and manufacturing a wide variety of CVD related research and manufacturing equipment, we believe that we can optimally help Bloo Solar reach its commercialization needs. In particular our focus on a variety of TCO coating processes and production scale-up equipment is being fully utilized in this relationship.”
