Martin Andrew Green AM FRS (born July 20, 1948 ) is an Australian professor at the University of New South Wales who specializes in solar energy .

education

Green was born in Brisbane and graduated from the prestigious Brisbane State High School. He studied at the University of Queensland (UQ) and on a Commonwealth scholarship from McMaster University in Canada, where he specialized in solar energy and received his doctorate in 1974 with a dissertation supervised by John Shewchun .

research

In 1974 he initiated the Solar Photovoltaics group at the University of New South Wales , which was engaged in the development of silicon solar cells . The group had their greatest success in the early 1980s with the production of a silicon cell with an efficiency of 20%, which has since been improved to 25%. The " buried-contact solar cell " was developed in 1984 at UNSW. and later patented.

Green has published both popular and technical books on solar cells. He is editor of the journal Progress in Photovoltaics . Green sits on the board of Sydney-based Pacific Solar Pty Ltd. (today CSG Solar), as head of research.
