Lançons ce sujet.
Vous connaissez les photopiles fabriquées à l'aide de plaquette de Silicium (le premier qui dit Silicone comme la moité des journalistes aura un gage), voici maintenant des photopiles sans Silicium, au CIS (Cuivre-Indium-Diselenure)
En plus c'est SHELL solar qui annonce le dernier record.
( la technologie des photopiles CIS n'est pas nouvelle, c'est le 13.5 % de rendement qui est nouveau).

01/11/2005
Shell Solar recently achieved a record 13.5% light to electricity conversion efficiency for it's leading thin film CIS (Copper-Indium-Diselenide) photovoltaic technology. This proves that the performance of thin film technology can be at least as good as that demonstrated by many traditional crystalline silicon products available in the market place today.
The result was independently verified by the TUV Rheinland Group in Cologne, Germany based on a 30 x 30cm sized module. The result also underscores Shell's commitment to maintaining leadership in the development and commercialisation of thin film PV technology - considered the most promising technology for long-term cost reduction in solar electricity.
Dans la page qui décrit SHELL solar :
Bon , SHELL remonte un petit peu dans mon estime.The technology of Shell Solar :
Shell Solar is involved in photovoltaics, the technology that converts light directly into electricity. Shell Solar manufactures and sells Shell PowerMax® solar panels, an excellent performing range of panels with high energy yields. The Shell PowerMax range consists of mono- and multi crystalline cell technologies and the leading Shell thin film technology, CIS (Copper Indium Diselinide).
Shell Solar and the PV market :
Shell Solar belongs to the top 5 of solar PV players. Shell Solar has supplied solar cells and modules with a capacity of over 425 megawatts.
