Dr. Ibram Ganesh, Scientist-F, ARCI, Hyderabad, has invented a brand new technology for converting sunlight into electricity by following a completely new and novel concept called "Semiconductor and Liquid Assisted Photothermal Effect (SLAPE)" with a conversion efficiency of >20%. In many ways this new technology is superior to the Silicon Photovoltaic Cell (SPVC) panels technology. The interested people/companies can approach ARCI, Hyderabad, for taking the technology . We will transfer the technology on a non-exclusive basis. This technology was patented recently, “A device and method for converting sunlight into heat energy using semiconducting materials immersed in a stable organic solvent for electricity generation”, Indian Patent Application # 202041039082; dated - 10th September 2020.
