New dopants might enhance PV glass efficiency
According to a British-Swedish research team, the down‐shifting process for solar glass manufacturing can be enhanced via making use of 2 dopant cations that produce no absorption bands. The doping with these substances is claimed to minimize the UV transmission while likewise maintaining the glass free from absorption in the visible as well as near-infrared ranges.

Nanostructures for ultrathin flexible wafer
Researchers in South Korea integrated 2 processes to engrave a nanostructure of little pyramids onto the surface of a silicon wafer. Along with trapping much more light and also enhancing the cell effectiveness, the team declares that its nanostructure improves the mechanical flexibility of the cells. This can potentially enable making use of much thinner silicon wafers than is currently feasible in manufacturing.
