CEG Research Connection
A research partnership between SUNY Polytechnic Institute and SUNY Buffalo State College is advancing next-generation technology for solar panels. Perovskite Solar Cells efficiently convert UV and visible light into electricity by absorbing photons to produce excitons, or electron-hole pairs which generate a current.
The cost of making a panel using Perovskite Solar Cells is significantly cheaper than the current silicon-based panels. They are comparably lighter, allowing for easier transport, and are quicker to manufacture.
