Subhendu Guha (born in Dhaka formerly known as Dacca, Undivided India,1942) is an Indian Scientist in the field of Photovoltaics . He pioneered the development of Amorphous silicon solar cells, that led to the invention of flexible Solar shingle.[1][2][3]
Subhendu's invention of Solar shingle is currently at the collection of National Museum of American History.[4][5][6]
Early life
Dr Guha studied in Scottish Church Collegiate School and Presidency College, Kolkata and got his Ph.D. from University of Calcutta. He did post-doctoral research work at University of Sheffield as a Senior Research Fellow.
Careers
Dr Guha developed a new process for making Amorphous silicon in 1980 after he joined Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai in 1968.[7]
Guha was the Chairman of United Solar a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices (ECD).[8][9]
In 1991, He led a team of scientists that made innovations to achieve the world's highest efficiency solar cells and modules using Thin-film solar cell silicon.[10][11]
Former President of the United States George W. Bush visited United Solar in 2006, for Guha to develop solar technology, to enable USA becomes less dependent on foreign oil.[12]
