AUSTIN, Texas -- After four years of research by HelioVolt CEO Dr. BJ Stanbery and his team, HelioVolt Corporation, a next-generation solar energy technology company, today announced the joint publication with researchers from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) of experimental results confirming predictions of Dr. Stanbery's new theoretical model published in January, which explains much of the observed device physics and high performance characteristics of copper indium gallium selenide-based (CIGS) photovoltaics (PV). The Intra-Absorber Junction (IAJ) or Stanbery Model represents a key accomplishment in the scientific community's ongoing efforts to better understand the physics behind CIGS thin-films. The Stanbery model is a major leap forward for commercialization of CIGS...
