Magnolia Solar Corp. (MGLT) Reaches Developmental Milestone, Advances Antireflection Solar Technology
Magnolia Solar has reached a developmental milestone that it believes advances nanostructured antireflection (AR) coating technology closer to commercial application. Working with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany, Magnolia Solar reported that it has achieved high-quality 6-inch growth of nanostructured AR coatings on glass for solar cell applications. Most silicon solar cells and high-efficiency thin film solar cells produced today measure approximately 4 inches, the company noted. Fixed, flat-plate solar cell modules characteristically experience significant reductions in power output as light reflects off the front glass, depending on the time of the day…
