Solar Technology & PV R&D News

Piling solar cells boosts their efficiency. Dealing with partners in the PERCISTAND project, scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of nearly 25%-- the highest value achieved so far with this technology.

Solar supplier LONGi has set a world record conversion effectiveness of 26.5% for silicon heterojunction (HJT) PV cells.

Solar cell technology is a prominent clean energy resource. Particularly, organic solar cells, part of the third generation of solar cells, are getting attention as a core technology for metropolitan solar ray energy generation as they can be printed and related to exterior wall surfaces or glass windows of buildings.

Developer aims to integrate a new monitoring as well as fault-detection solution into its O&M services

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have found that a tin-lead perovskite cell can get rid of issues with stability and also boost efficiency, with their most current experiment generating a 25.5% conversion performance.

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an one-of-a-kind passivation method based upon the application of guanidinium (Gua) and also octylammonium (Oa) spacer cations has actually gotten in the solar scene; thanks to a team of scientists from Flinders University, the University of New South Wales, and Australian National University.

A Florida State University researcher is untangling the complexities of a product that researchers worldwide are attempting to manipulate to construct better solar cells.

Organic solar cells, with their flexibility and enhanced conversion rates, have the potential to take solar to places it has actually not been seen in yet. With the current cells promising the solar efficiency of silicon cells from a decade back, it is an excellent bet that we will certainly see some success stories soon.

A group of capitalists including Statkraft Ventures has actually invested US$ 3 million in software-as-a-service (SaaS) company Glint Solar and also its site recognition technology for both ground install as well as floating solar parks.

Lightweight as a window stick and also replicable as a paper, organic solar cells are becoming a sensible remedy for the country's growing energy need.

Openings aid make sponges and also English muffins useful (and, when it comes to the last, tasty). Without openings, they would not be flexible enough to flex into tiny gaps, or to absorb the ideal amount of jam as well as butter.

Recently, designers worldwide have actually been creating various new technologies to generate and store energy more sustainably. These technologies consist of solar or photovoltaic cells, electrical tools that can convert the light from the sun right into electrical energy.

A battle over the best size for a key part utilized to harness the sun's energy may determine which company has the edge in a $200 billion industry.

Solar power is a clean as well as renewable resource of energy. Solar cells typically include a semiconductor material that soaks up sunlight and generates electricity.

In a recently-published research, 3-µm-thick readily offered parylene-C was transferred on the top of pre-cleaned glass through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and after that the flip-over transferring (FOT) process was utilized to make certain a smooth parylene surface.
