Destruction and also regrowth in polysilicon passivation layers
Scientists in Australia took a close consider the long-term efficiency of passivation layers in silicon solar cells, as well as found a surprising procedure of degradation and regrowth at the office within the product. The outcomes could have ramifications on the procedures used in industrial scale solar cell manufacturing.

Solar and wind make coal unprofitable in Japan
Recent investments into 11 GW of new coal generation capacity may result in reduced operating cashflows of $71 billion. That will occur, according to a report from the Carbon Tracker Institute, because solar and wind will become cheaper than coal in Japan by 2025 at the latest, despite high renewable energy costs at present.

Temperature level and also the situation for bifacial
U.S. scientists have developed a design to anticipate the performance of bifacial PV at project level. Their outcomes reveal that when improved temperature level sensitivity is properly taken into account, the advantage of bifacial modules could be even larger than formerly assumed. And also for upcoming module modern technologies like heterojunction particularly, it can imply bifacial is viable in a lot more parts of the world.
