Solarex Work Values

Daily Duties at Solarex:

Responsible for defining, developing and executing research project to develop new materials and develop technology for improving performance of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and amorphous silicon-germanium (a-SiGe:H) single-junction as well as tandem-junction solar cells. Hands-on experience on large-area (1 ft x 1 ft) DC PECVD technique as well as solar cells measurements techniques, such as current-voltage (I-V) and quantum efficiency (Q-E) or spectral response. I have also experience in scaling-up of the process from small system (1 ft x 1 ft) to large-area system (2 ft x 2 ft). Analysis of the results, reporting in the meeting and recommend to the higher level manager for next phase of the project were part of job responsibilities. I led simultaneously two to three projects on developing manufacturing technology of a-Si solar cells. Reproduced device-quality a-Si:H and a-SiGe:H thin-film by helium diluted silane plasma in DC PECVD, where only ?–regime is the plasma sustaining mechanism. Using helium dilution technology, the total process time of a-Si:H/a-SiGe:H tandem-junction was reduced to 60 minutes, a milestone of Solarex (at present BP Solar) FY2000, accomplished in 1997! I developed a-Si:H absorber layer with lower stabilized defect density than state-of-the-art a-Si:H film of Solarex. I also invented high chamber pressure process that produces a-Si:H absorber layer with lower optical gap and higher stabilized efficiency. I proposed a project to study the interelectrode spacing in DC PECVD on performance and stability of a-Si:H, a-SiGe:H solar cells as well as tandem-junction. Participated in writing research grant for submission to the National Renewable Energy laboratory (NREL) and finally the project (Contract no. ZAK-8-17619-02, FY: 1997 - 2000) was accepted.

What they like about Solarex:

The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
