UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...

Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have cultivated a method for measuring the performance of back-contacted solar cells that avoids contact in the production line. The ...

Perovskite solar cells offer high efficiency & low cost, but complex structures limit modeling. A new Python simulator ...

A Netherlands-based collaboration between Kalpana Systems, HyETSolar, and research laboratory TNO has been launched to advance the commercialisation of perovskite solar cells. The Perovision Project ...

A research team led by Prof. Mingtai Wang at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Engineers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) have claimed to have achieved a new world record for photovoltaic efficiency using high-bandgap kesterite solar cells (CZTS). The ...
