Dr. Vasilenko explains that the LETG process increases the efficiency of photovoltaic conversion, adding that "LETG employs a unique molecular solar spectrum converter - a 'photonic quantum pump' - to shift an inefficient part of solar radiation to the effective red absorption spectrum of the silicon photocell." In plain English, the result of this technology will be an increase in electrical output of 250% - a stunning advance in what had been considered a mature field.
