Introduction

Philosophy

  1. Advanced Photovoltaics wiki is devoted to innovative solar cell concepts spinning off from the Third Generation of solar cell design and the materials underlying them.
  2. Science is cool and meant to be shared.
  3. Ideas are everywhere, and innovation is critical to energy independence.
  4. We work under the fundamental philosophy that scientific knowledge should be open to public access and debate.
