The OMEGA-Silicon project seeks to augment the efficiency of silicon solar cells using molecular singlet fission. The approach allows for quantum efficiencies in excess of 100% and provides a pathway to take conventional silicon solar cell technology to efficiencies above 30%. The project involves eight industrial partners, Canadian Solar, DASolar, JA Solar, Jinergy, Jinko Solar, Jolywood, Leadmicro & Xinhao Energy. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency is funding the project over a 5 year period.
