Firm wins grant to develop tiny solar panel

Written on May 23, 2007

Swindon Advertiser reports Microsharp has won a grant to develop technology that will catch the sun’s rays and direct it to a miniature solar panel. The Watchfield firm is working on a solar concentrator using an optical film to focus the sun’s energy on to a base power generator like a silicon cell. The Carbon Trust gave Microsharp £175,000. If the technology works properly, solar panels could become cheaper and much more efficient.
