Abstract:
A method for cryogenic retreating solar cells and solar cell components in order to decrease resistance and increase photovoltaic output. The method involves placing the solar cells and solar cell components in a cryogenic processor wherein the cells and panel components are lowered to approximately −300° F. This temperature is maintained for a predetermined time, after which the temperature is raised to ambient temperature over time.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for increasing the photovoltaic output of solar cells by cryogenic treatment comprising the steps of:\n a. providing a quantity of solar cells, b. measuring the mass of said solar cells, c. providing a cryogenic processor including a liquid or gaseous or gaseous nitrogen circulating system, d. placing said solar cells within the cryogenic processor, e. introducing liquid or gaseous nitrogen into the cryogenic processor's liquid or gaseous nitrogen circulating system, f. lowering the temperature within the cryogenic processor which lowers the temperature of the solar cells to approximately \u2212300\u00b0 F. for a predetermined time, g. holding the temperature of the solar cells at \u2212300\u00b0 F. for a predetermined time, h. raising the temperature of the solar cells, over a predetermined time to ambient temperature,
