Terrestrial solar cells
Emcore has won a series of contracts to supply terrestrial solar cells that could collectively be worth more than $300 m over the next few years. The cost of generators that use the cells is estimated at between $4 and $5 per watt, but the development of inverted structures could reduce this key figure-of-merit thanks to improvements in power conversion efficiencies.
