Searching for cost-efficient techniques for III-V cell production
Scientists in Canada have discovered a promising technique for the production of gallium-arsenide solar cells. Growing these cells straight onto a silicon substrate is an appealing strategy that could eliminate several of the innovation's inflated manufacturing expenses. And also by making that silicon permeable, scientists may have taken an action toward creating high-performance III-V solar cells at a substantially lower cost.

Perovskite and also organic solar cells soared into space
For the very first time, researchers in Germany sent perovskite as well as natural solar cells on a rocket right into room. The solar cells held up against the severe conditions in space, creating power from direct sunshine as well as reflective light from the Earth's surface area. The work, published August 12 in the journal Joule, establishes the structure for future near-Earth application in addition to prospective deep space missions.

USTC makes development in solar cell performance
A study team led by Prof. CHEN Tao and also Prof. ZHU Changfei, and also their partner Prof. HAO Xiaojing at UNSW, created a hydrothermal deposition approach for the synthesis of antimony selenosulfide for solar cell applications. With this absorber material, the solar cell break the 10% benchmark performance obstacle. This outcome has actually been released in Nature Energy entitled "Hydrothermal deposition of antimony selenosulfide thin films enables solar cells with 10% performance".

Tandem solar modules vs commercial crystalline
Researchers in France have tried to predict the competitiveness of tandem PV modules versus industrial crystalline items in 2030. Crystalline items will be 22-24% reliable in a years, according to the researchers, perhaps 25% if interdigitated back-contact heterojunction versions come to be mainstream. To contend, tandem devices will require to supply similar lifetime and also degradation prices, plus effectiveness of 30%.
