Concentrator technology nominated for German Future Prize - Successful development and market launch impress the jury
Hansjörg Lerchenmüller, Dr Andreas Bett and Dr Klaus-Dieter Rasch have been nominated for the German Future Prize.
Together they have developed special solar cells, modules and systems that can convert twice as much sunlight into electrical energy as silicon-based Photovoltaic systems.
The technology uses the following principle: multijunction solar cells that capture different ranges of the solar spectrum are combined with lenses that concentrate the sunlight.
