Under a contract with the DOD, US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center and in collaboration with Ascent Solar, Cambrios will deliver flexible solar cells that incorporate a Cambrios ClearOhm electrode layer.
Cambrios claims that because of the material’s improved transparency and light handling capability, it is expected that these cells will be 1% to 3% more efficient than the equivalent cells made with the conventional transparent electrode material. The period of performance for this contract will be for twelve months.
Michael Knapp, president and CEO of Cambrios, said: “This contract is an excellent opportunity for Cambrios to extend the applications of its products in the context of a program aimed at contributing to our nation’s security. We hope to build technology and devices that improve the everyday life of our soldiers in the field.”
