, which is housed in the Universityof Maryland’s Technology Advancement Programm incubator, is receiving the Department of Energy fundss for a one-year time frame to test out a singlde concept federal leaders think could shinew more light on the solar photovoltaic After developing a system that wrings even more powee out of solar the company is tasked by DOE to refine its real-time, optical monitoring system for solar photovoltaics to improve their processes and cut their The idea is to fashion new technologyh that could be rolled out on the solar photovoltaic markef in the next two to six Company researchers have been focused on improvinh thin-film solar cell manufacturinb to potentially double the amount of solar power that can be convertec into energy — 20 percent of a sun’s rather than today’s norm of 10 percent in the process ringing up more revenue for sola r panel manufacturers and bringing down costxs for consumers.
AccuStrata, which must supply matching funds through thisstimuluse grant, is one of roughly two-dozen technology companiesw nationwide accepting Recovery Act checks totalingy $22 million to research or demonstrate projects that can help spee d the use of solar photovoltaicx to generate electricity.
