The Escarra lab attended the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit held in National Harbor, MD from February 27 – March 1, 2017. The summit is an annual meeting of energy innovators from industry, academia, national labs, and more. Our collaborators... Dr. Qi Xu’s paper entitled “Transmissive concentrator multijunction solar cells with over 47% in-band power conversion efficiency” was published in Applied Physics Letters. This paper reports a major part of the continuous work on the hybrid solar energy... Dr. Qi Xu’s paper entitled “A transmissive, spectrum-splitting concentrating photovoltaic module for hybrid photovoltaic-solar thermal energy conversion” was published in the journal Solar Energy. This is the first paper out of the group on our hybrid solar energy... Brian Riggs attends the 43rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) from June 5-10, 2016 in Portland, Or and presents a poster on the group’s ongoing work in the FOCUS project. His poster is titled ‘Thermal Characterization of Concentrated Solar Absorbance... Professor Escarra attends the 12th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV-12) from April 25-27 in Freiburg, Germany and presents in the ‘Novel Concepts in CPV’ session. His talk is titled ‘A Hybrid Photovoltaic-photothermal... An ARPA-E project within the FOCUS program is launched in our group in collaboration with Otherlab in San Francisco, Boeing-Spectrolab in Sylmar, CA, and the University of San Diego. The goal of the project is to design, build, and test a hybrid concentrated...
