Solar batteries with elements on sapphire substrates will be developed at the North Caucasus Federal University (NCFU). This was reported by the press service of the university.
The solar batteries will be created by order of a major Russian developer and manufacturer of integrated security systems, special equipment, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Our idea is to develop and manufacture technological equipment for the production of elements for solar batteries based on domestic developments. This will reduce the cost of production tenfold, and the enterprise will receive not only the final product itself, but also the ability to manufacture it independently.
Currently, specialists are preparing a laboratory setup. A pilot battery will be created on its basis.
Earlier www1.ru reported that new solar batteries were developed in St. Petersburg.
