Novel method to simulate performance of a cell with up to 5 junctions
Italian scientific team has developed a new method combining the Hovel model with SMM. The novel approach allows describing electromagnetic radiation in a PV cell more accurately, considering interference effects. The device under examination is based on Ge, InGaAs and InGaP. The corresponding anti-reflection coating can make a cell with 3-5 junctions 50-percent efficient.

Researchers uncover how oxygen loss saps a lithium-ion battery's voltage
When lithium ions flow in and out of a battery electrode throughout billing as well as releasing, a little bit of oxygen permeates out and the battery's voltage-- a procedure of just how much energy it supplies-- discolors an equally little bit. The losses place with time, as well as can ultimately sap the battery's energy storage capacity by 10-15%.

Is JinkoSolar (JKS) A Better Solar Supply To Acquire Than Enphase (ENPH) Energy?
Solar stocks bounced back strongly on Tuesday’s trading session as investors pile back into companies with strong growth. The stock market’s rise certainly helped lift some of the top solar stocks. But there was news specific to the industry that also helped. Of course, the biggest news was that the bond yields were dropping. Although the drop wasn’t significant, many are optimistic about the way rates are doing after the recent increase. And it appears that is enough to reinvigorate solar stocks in the stock market today.
