High-output Solar Cells Using Up-Conversion
The invention presented here can increase the output of solar cells. The novel technology uses glass plates containing lanthanoid ions. Unlike conventional glass, this type of glass converts long-wave solar radiation (up-conversion) and thus increases the rate of electricity production. Moreover, the invention reduces the temperature in the solar cells, which in turn further increases their output.
