The Chip Shots blog channels the observations of Fabtech's and PV-Tech/Photovoltaic International's Senior Contributing Editor--USA, Tom Cheyney, a 20-year veteran of semiconductor, advanced micro/nanoelectronics, and solar manufacturing trade journalism. For 15 years, Tom was editor in chief of MICRO (the original home of Chip Shots) until it ceased publication in July 2006. Tom calls Los Angeles home. Going organic: Plextronics gets the first OPV test modules under sun at NREL
The first organic photovoltaic modules ever to be tested at the National Renewable Energy Lab have been under sun for about a month and should be there for at least another three months, says Plextronics’ Jim Dietz. His company has a dozen small test modules racked up, as an outgrowth of the Pittsburgh-based firm’s ongoing DOE Solar America Initiative and PV Incubator program collaborations with the lab.
NREL’s declaration of preincubation: More from the IEEE PVSC/PV America event
PHILADELPHIA--As NREL's senior supervisor managing the DOE's Photovoltaic Technology Incubator program, Martha Symko-Davies has helped tend one of the more fertile spawning grounds for companies trying to develop disruptive, innovative PV approaches that have a decent shot at getting to commercial-scale production. Although not every winner of an incubator award will successfully navigate from prototype to pilot to full production, companies like SolFocus and Abound Solar have entered the market full steam ahead thanks in part to the incubation program.
