Applications in Solar Energy: Harvesting Light

Using its award-winning technology, MicroContinuum, along with its technology partners, is currently developing R2R processes for producing nano-antennas for harvesting solar infrared radiation. Such structures may have a theoretical efficiency of over 80%. Other solar applications include roll-to-roll production of low-cost concentrating and/or wavelength shifting structures and films.
