His recent scientific breakthroughs 1-2, which are fundamental to describing the photovoltaic activity of CdTe/CdS solar cells, were summarised in a "new theoretical model for CdTe”.
•
He currently focusses on low-cost methods to develop Thin film solar cells based on electrodeposited CIGS materials,where he has reported efficiencies of 15.9% to date, compared with the highest value of 19.5% reported by NREL 4using more expensive techniques.
•
Based on these novel ideas he has reported a higher efficiency of 18% for the CdTe/CdS cell 3, compared with 16.5% reported by NREL in the United States.
