Testing at NREL’s Golden, Colorado, research facility has concluded for SolOptics Fusion PV enhancement technology. Fusion is an optics-based surface technology, which NREL concluded can deliver conversion efficiency gains between 10% and 12.5%, depending on testing conditions.

“The Fusion product shows significant improvement in the PV current over existing technology, particularly under various low level lighting conditions,” says Keith Emery, principal research supervisor at NREL’s Outdoor Test Facility, where the national lab characterizes the performance and reliability of PV cells, modules, and small systems.
