Solar-PV

A dispatchable, grid-scale thermal energy storage system based on a molten silicon storage medium. Excess electricity is converted to thermal energy to heat the silicon, stored in one of two large tanks. When demand arises, glowing-hot molten silicon is pumped through an array tubes that emit light, and special-purpose multi-junction photovoltaics convert the generated light to electricity.

SolarWindow's organic photovoltaic arrays (OPVs) modules are created by applying ultra-thin liquid polymer coatings to glass and flexible plastics. The modules can

ELSi technology comprises both mechanical, thermal and electrolytic based processes. The focus and primary innovation involves electro separation techniques. Mechanical separation processes, chemical dissolution and electrically driven separation and winning will be combined in new way enabling economically viable recovery of silicon, high purity glass, aluminium, silver, copper, gold, tin and lead from end-of-life silicon-based PV modules.

Ultra-light solar module reduces module weight by two thirds when compared to conventional crystalline modules.
