Australia’s godfather of solar: Martin Green marks 50 years of research
Manage episode 452685230 series 5418
Fifty years ago Martin Green began research into how to improve solar cells. In 1983 he led a team that invented the PERC cell, a solar power technology that allows more sunlight to be captured and turned into electricity.
This innovation, since further developed by Green and his team at UNSW, is now used in over 90 per cent of global silicon solar module production.
He continues to work in the lab and has mentored hundreds of students and solar pioneers.
Guest: Martin Green, Scientia Professor, University of New South Wales. Founder and inaugural director of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics.
