HyperSolar’s development team has found that new design models are showing potential magnification of 300%. Using a thin and flat light magnification layer, thousands of small light collectors take the light into a light routing network, which then transmits the light to a smaller output area on the bottom where a solar cell can be attached. HyperSolar states that only one solar cell is needed under a 300% HyperSolar layer.

“We are very excited about this breakthrough by our development team,” said HyperSolar’s CEO, Tim Young. “Considerable work has been done in the solar industry to make solar cells more efficient. However, we believe that a critical advancement will be to actually control the delivery of sunlight onto solar cells. At HyperSolar, we are developing the world’s first thin and flat light magnification layer for direct application on top of standard solar cells to increase their power output. We are encouraged by our recent results. Our plan is to move to the prototype stage early next year and then to a commercial product.”
