Hi my name is John Wager.
I'm a professor of electrical engineering
in the school of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
If you look at all the alternative
energy scenarios, solar energy, and
solar energy conversion,
is probably the most attractive
because there's so much of solar energy available.
However, that being said,
it's difficult to efficiently capture
that solar radiation and turn it into
direct energy.
We're looking at thin film solar cells.
What our objective is is to try to
come up with the design of new material
sets, that potentially could be useful
in next generation thin film solars cells.
We're emphasizing environmentally
benign materials.
We also- there are a couple
of the materials that are relatively costly,
and if you anticipate how many acres
of solar cells, how many miles of solar cells
if we're successful in this project,
you really want to choose materials
that are low cost.
If we could, potentially, come up with
new solar cell absorbers,
it's, in terms of alternative energy,
it would be a very, very good thing.
