Sunvalley Files US Patent on Technology That Increases Solar Panel Efficiency

WALNUT, Calif., Dec. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunvalley Solar, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SSOL), a leading solar power technology and solar system integration company, announces the filing of United States Patent entitled "New Solar Cell Structure with Increased Efficiency."

Because of an array of nanostructures with space varying periodicity and orientation, the Sunvalley patented solar cell is less affected by the spectral wavelength, angle, and/or polarization of the incident light. This technology effectively increases the efficiency of solar panels.

"Sunvalley Solar, Inc. maintains a strong and efficient research and development team focused on solar energy application technology, especially the advanced research and development needed to increase PV panel efficiency and reduce its cost. The technology we patented can potentially be commercialized for solar panel manufacturing allowing an increase in the efficiency of solar cells while at the same time reducing their cost," said Fang Xu, CTO of Sunvalley Solar, Inc. He added, "This is just a start. We will continue to work closely with our partners at UCSD (University of California, San Diego) and with research institutes in China to innovate the solar energy industry."
