This extremely thin-film solar cell, by Transform Solar could seen be produced in Boise, if all goes well. Boise, Idaho is already making way for a 10-megawatt photovoltaic plant, and may soon welcome this production plant too. The cells known as \u201cSilver\u201d are thinner than ever, and highly efficient. The company, Transform Solar, is a joint venture between Boise-based Micron Technology and Australia\u2019s Origin Energy. New life will be given to an old computer chip plant which will be overhauled to produce these solar cells.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nMade of monocrystalline silicon, these solar cells use much less of the semiconductor than conventional crystalline silicon solar cells. Material costs have dropped by a sweet 90 percent in their production too. Measuring around 50 microns thick, these cells can capture energy from both sides, making them highly efficient. Hopefully things go as planned and we have a green energy production line soon at Boise.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/solar.calfinder.com\/blog\/news\/boise-city-to-build-thinnest-silver-solar-cells-ever-made\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Calfinder<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s a solar cell that could easily fit into the mouth of a bug, the thinnest solar cell the world has ever seen before.
