Researchers produce new materials that could increase the stability of perovskite solar cells
A group of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, the programmers of numerous development developments in the solar power area, suggested yet an additional service to raise the stability and also efficiency of perovskite solar elements. They synthesized a new class of carbazole-based cross-linkable materials, which are resistant to various environmental effects, including strong solvents made use of in the production of solar cells.

Single-axis bifacial PV supplies lowest LCOE in 93.1% of globe's land area
Researchers from the Solar Power Study Institute of Singapore have concluded that utility-scale PV jobs depending on bifacial panels as well as single-axis trackers provide the lowest levelized cost of power in most of the world. They discovered that the combination of bifacial products with dual-axis trackers is still also costly, regardless of the greater yield. The second-lowest LCOE is used by monofacial single-axis tracker plants.
