Norwegian Company develops solar cell film that could turn wndows into solar panels!

Image via Wikipedia EnSol AS is situated in Bergen and together with he University of Leicester ( UK ) it is developing a thin film deposition system with nanocrystal source which will hopefully help it turn its patented nanotechnology into a working product. Their aim is to refine their PV cell technology so that it can achieve a cell efficiency of 20% or greater. If they succeed, this will be a significant leap forward in PV technology and could revolutionise the industry . Claiming cost effective production via standard “spray on” magnetron techniques, it claims that this technology can realistically compete with existing established PV cell technology, a claim that isn't that far-fetched. EnSol is aiming to construct a world class thin film deposition facility in Norway , based on experience gained working in collaboration with the Condensed Matter Physics group at the  University of Leicester (UK) .
