Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., the University of New South Wales and Silex Solar have signed an agreement to research advanced technology intended to further improve the power-conversion efficiencies of crystalline silicon solar cells.
The three-year collaborative research project has received an AUD 5 million grant from the Australian Solar Institute (ASI) – the largest award given to any of the 87 grant applicants in the ASI's first competitive funding call.
In addition to the AUD 5 million research grant from the ASI, both Silex Solar and Suntech will contribute more than AUD 6 million in direct funding and in-kind research resources over the next three years to support research operations.
