PINSTRIPE - Photon INcrease by Splitting To Realise Improved Photovoltaic Efficiency
Lead Participant:
EIGHT 19 LIMITED
Abstract
PINSTRIPE is a short project to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a new approach to increasing the
conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules by splitting high energy visible photons into 2 infra-red photons
before they are absorbed by the module. By increasing the photon flux absorbed, greater power can be
generated.
