>From their video, it looks like they were trying to find a way to eliminate electron recombination in the silicon lattice to improve efficiency. They may be planning to do that with fields created with the pyroelectric films. Since the typical delta T from front to back in the panel is 26C,

Stephen, I’m not sure the E field is static. It could look more like electronic noise. The inventor – Kumar - also has other patent apps which indicate the way he is going. 20150108851 Photovoltaic systems with shaped high frequency electric pulses At least one photovoltaic (PV) cell

Re: [Vo]:RE: [Vo]:New Record Low Solar Price in Abu Dhabi – Costs Plunging Faster Than Expected

Sounds sort of reasonable. But something comes to mind -- the E field they apply, as described, doesn't do any work, as far as I can tell. It /just/ biases the cell. IOW it's a static E field. In particular, since there's no path for the charge to leave the "plates" (front and back

Here is the patent application – or one of them https://www.google.com/patents/US20120216847 Abstract A method to increase the efficiency of a solar cell comprises applying one of a transparent pyroelectric film and a plurality of films in a stack on a front surface of the solar cell

Terry, They seem to contradict themselves: elsewhere they claim “the Efficoat technology” provides 15-20% improvement in power production from ordinary solar panels over the course of a typical day.” This would lead one to believe that the panels are coated. If the coating is not on

It looks like an interesting technology. However, the real metric is not in panel efficiency or system efficiency, it is total$/kWh. This has to include the longevity of the panel. The total cost/kWh over the life of the panel is its installed cost (+maintenance costs) amortized over the life

This brings to mind a local company (SF Bay) with an add-on product for solar cells which they claim increases the power and efficiency. The technology uses a pyroelectric coating for the cells and a feedback mechanism. The company is UltraSolar. It has been mentioned before here, but it may
