Waarom zou je een PV-cel ontwerpen voor infraroodstraling, dat een gebied bestrijkt waarvan zonlicht eigenlijk maar betrekkelijk weinig bevat?Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales' ARC Photovoltaics Centre of Excellence, led by PhD student Supriya Pillai have reported a 16-fold enhancement in light absorption in 1.25-micron thin-film cells for light with a wavelength of 1050 nm. They have also reported a seven-fold enhancement in light absorption in the more expensive wafer type cells light wavelengths of 1200 nm.
