The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Delaware (UD) to develop a novel passivation method (the application of a protective surface coating) for solar photovoltaic (PV) waters and characterize the ability of treated materials to withstand certain types of corrosive downstream processing techniques used in the industrial production of solar cells and devices.
