天合光能（Trina Solar）宣布了它與新加坡太陽能研發(fā)所（SESRI）最近的研究協(xié)議。該合作將發(fā)展全背接觸高效率太陽能電池硅晶片以及天合光能的單晶硅片。天合光能將支付該研究項目的知識產權交易成本。
    天合光能和SESRI將共同努力，攜手生背接觸高效率太陽能電池，增加電池暴露在陽光下的前表面面積。天合光能預計未來三年內可完成該項目21.5％的生產效率和和23.5％的實驗室測試效率。
    Trina Solar announced its recent research agreement with the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS). Their collaboration will be for the development of an all-back contact high-efficiency silicon wafer solar cell with Trina Solar’s monocrystalline wafers. Trina Solar will cover the cost of the research project in exchange for the intellectual property rights.

    "We are excited to have this opportunity to work with Trina Solar in the development phase of this advanced solar cell technology. We expect the technology to be transferred to the production line and ready for commercial production within the next three years," said Professor Armin Aberle, cluster director of silicon photovoltaics at SERIS.

    Trina Solar and SERIS will work together to produce the high-efficiency solar cell by printing contacts on the back of the cell to increase front surface exposure to sunlight. Trina Solar is anticipating a 21.5% production efficiency and 23.5% laboratory test efficiency with the project completed in the next three years
