Xtreme Energetics ultra-efficient, pretty solar systems catch HP s eye

Posted on June 16, 2008

Hewlett-Packard, tapping into its IP back catalog, recently announced that it would license its thin film transparent transistor technology to Livermore, Calif.-based Xtreme Energetics (XE) to develop advanced concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) solar arrays for rooftops and utilities.HP s thin, flat transistors, which are made of cheap, plentiful zinc and tin, will create a tracking system that directly focuses sunlight on XE s proprietary solar concentrators. These will allow XE s concentrators to achieve double the conversion efficiency of conventional silicon solar panels. XE s solar ...
