3D Solar Cells Actually Invented at Georgia Tech (Score 1)

Thank you for sharing this very interesting story. There is, however, a clarification that needs to be added. The 3D solar cell was invented several years ago at the Georgia Tech Research Institute by our team of world-class scientists and engineers. The Georgia Tech Research Institute http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/ has been making 3D solar cell prototypes of this design since 2004. You can read about the work in our April 2007 news release online at http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/casestudy/3d-solar-cells-boost-efficiency. Our work has patents pending in the US and abroad. We have also published our research widely in an number of highly regarded research journals including the Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Materials and Carbon. The 3D Solar Cell has the potential to be breakthrough in the solar industry. The global and exclusive license to the 3D Solar Cell intellectual property is held by IP2BIZ in Atlanta http://www.ip2biz.com/Offerings/ProofCoProjects.a... The license is currently for sale to any firm that can further develop, manufacture and bring it to market. It is wonderful to see a student taking a real interest in science and math. We are also happy to hear of Williamâ(TM)s interest in 3D solar cells. We encourage him to contact the Georgia Tech Research Institute so he may be connected with our lead researcher (Dr. Jud Ready), who would love for him to visit our laboratories to see how we create our 3D solar cells. Who knows â" maybe William can contribute to our groundbreaking work.
