Solar Technology & PV R&D News

Less than 2 months after achieving a new world record for tandem solar cell effectiveness of 33.2%, KAUST scientists have actually introduced an enhancement to this number by getting to a power conversion effectiveness of 33.7% for a perovskite-silicon solar cell.

Scientists from Stanford University have actually reported a novel way to boost the performance of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) in the violet region. The new method could stand for an appealing step toward economical as well as reliable ultraviolet PeLEDs.

Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ: MAXN) on Thursday revealed a world-record module aperture efficiency dimension for its Maxeon 7 panel as well as a number of efficiency improvements to IBC products.

Italian solar company, FuturaSun, has actually acquired Solertix, a start-up specialized in perovskite solar cell research and also upscaling for commercial applications.

Scientists from China's Fudan University, Central South University, East China Normal University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Suzhou University of Science as well as Technology, together with Canada's University of Victoria and also Austria's University of Vienna, have actually recommended a novel strategy to achieve reliable and also stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) through introducing bis-diazirine molecules to paralyze the organic cations by covalent bonds.

Metal trees with a seven-meter canopy of photovoltaic panels that generate electricity may soon be coming to car parks and shopping malls in the UK.

Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have achieved a breakthrough power-conversion performance (PCE) of 19.31% with organic solar cells (OSCs), additionally referred to as polymer solar cells. This exceptional binary OSC effectiveness will certainly help enhance applications of these sophisticated solar energy devices.

A big group of technologists associated with numerous institutions in China, collaborating with two coworkers from Germany and also an additional two from Saudi Arabia, has located a way to create flexible monocrystalline silicon solar cells.

Oxford PV has actually revealed 'a new globe record for the performance of a commercial-sized solar cell'. The effectiveness record was achieved on a commercial-sized'M 4' (258.15 cm2) solar cell. The cell is a 2T device made by transferring a perovskite thin-film cell onto a conventional silicon heterojunction cell.

" Miracle" tandem cells are stated to enhance solar panel effectiveness by 50% with the globe's initial commercialisation of perovskite solar cells

To pave the way for the industrial application of reliable perovskite-silicon PV modules, a reliable measuring system for tandem solar cells and also modules have to be established. Just after that can objective comparisons in between various cells and modules occur. In comparison to conventional silicon PV modules, nevertheless, the calibration is considerably more challenging.

Scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China and also Dongguan University of Technology have discovered a way to boost perovskite solar cells by adding a layer that improves security as well as efficiency at capturing power from sunlight.

Scientists from Solliance companions Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and TNO have established a tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell using a new strategy to interface engineering.
