天合光能（Trina Solar）宣布了它与新加坡太阳能研发所（SESRI）最近的研究协议。该合作将发展全背接触高效率太阳能电池硅晶片以及天合光能的单晶硅片。天合光能将支付该研究项目的知识产权交易成本。
天合光能和SESRI将共同努力，携手生背接触高效率太阳能电池，增加电池暴露在阳光下的前表面面积。天合光能预计未来三年内可完成该项目21.5％的生产效率和和23.5％的实验室测试效率。
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
