TEMPE, Ariz., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Solestial, Inc. ("Solestial"), the solar energy company for space, today announced that the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission ("CEA") has independently validated the ability of Solestial's ultrathin silicon solar cells to effectively anneal radiation damage under sunlight at 90°C. After radiation exposure equivalent to 10 years in low Earth orbit ("LEO"), followed by annealing at 90°C under 1 sun illumination equivalent, the open circuit voltage of Solestial's silicon solar cells dropped by only 4% and maintained 96% of its initial value. Providing that the operating temperature of the illuminated solar cells in orbit reach similar temperatures periodically, this demonstrates the feasibility of self-curing solar cells with substantially reduced radiation-induced degradation.

Key Points: 
  • Lab validates solar cells' breakthrough radiation-curing ability at 90°C; results are unmatched in the space industry.
  • We look forward to further testing with the CEA over the coming months to validate internal annealing results at even lower temperatures.
  • Solestial's silicon solar cells incorporate proprietary defect-engineering technology to self-cure radiation damage, resulting in minimal loss of efficiency over an operational lifetime.
  • "Radiation curing technology is an important breakthrough for the space PV [photovoltaics] industry," said Romain Cariou, space silicon solar applications expert at the CEA.
