US Patent:

20120058591, Mar 8, 2012

Filed:

Sep 4, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/807399

Inventors:

Brad M. Siskavich - Amherst NH, US

International Classification:

H01L 31/18

US Classification:

438 68, 257E21211

Abstract:

A method of fabricating epitaxial structures including applying an etch stop to one side of a substrate and then growing at least one epitaxial layer on a first side of said substrate, flipping the substrate, growing a second etch stop and at least one epitaxial layer on a second side of the substrate, applying a carrier medium to the ultimate epitaxial layer on each side, dividing the substrate into two parts generally along an epitaxial plane to create separate epitaxial structures, removing any residual substrate and removing the etch stop.

Sep 20, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/623582

Inventors:

Brad Siskavich - Amherst NH, US

International Classification:

H01L 31/04

US Classification:

136246, 136253

Abstract:

Embodiments of an apparatus that can convert energy across a broad spectrum of wavelengths. These embodiments utilize concentrating optics in combination with one or more of an integrated filter, a cooling mechanism, and a high-efficiency low current cell architecture to form efficient and cost-effective TPV devices. During operation, these components reduce the ratio of cell area to emitter area by concentrating the energy the emitter emits, thereby reducing the total cost of materials and promoting efficiency through integrating the filter and cooling mechanism into the device design.

Appl. No.:

13/739898

Inventors:

Brad Siskavich - Amherst NH, US

International Classification:

H01L 23/46
H01L 31/052
H01L 31/02

US Classification:

136246, 136244, 257621

Abstract:

This disclosure describes embodiments of a receiver component that can support a plurality of photovoltaic devices, which collectively are useful to generate electricity from sunlight. The receiver component can comprise a substrate that integrates one or more bypass elements (e.g., a diode) and a cooling mechanism coupled to the substrate to dissipate thermal energy by dispersing a cooling fluid thereon. In this manner, embodiments of the receiver component combine in a single package the features necessary to maintain performance of the photovoltaic devices, e.g., to achieve sufficient electrical output while reducing costs and manufacturing time.

International Classification:

H02S 20/32
E04H 4/14
H02S 40/22

Abstract:

Solar panels located on residential roofs can be unsightly in some cases. A swimming pool solar power generator can locate solar panels in or around the sides and/or bottoms of a swimming pool in a manner so as to create electricity from the sun without creating an eyesore. In an embodiment, a pool solar power generator includes a solar cell module disposed in a portion of a swimming pool. The solar cell module can include solar cells and be submerged under water held by the swimming pool. The solar cell module can convert sunlight incident on the solar cells to electricity and transmit the electricity for use at a location external to the swimming pool.
