Solar Cells

Photovoltaics, research done at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is the process of directly converting sunlight to electricity. This field of energy technology is one of the fastest growing areas of scientific research in recent years. The work at PNNL is focused on enabling durable, cost-effective solar technology through use of unique materials, and unique thin film deposition technology. Our goal is to produce highly efficient, durable, cost-effective photovoltaic thin film devices to meet the world’s growing demand for clean, green energy. In photo, a researcher prepares high purity glassware for photovoltaic materials synthesis.
