Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we always want more! Too much, you ...

UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the ...

The inclusion of a thicker aluminium oxide layer in TOPCon solar cells could provide superior resistance to UVID, according ...

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing ...

Two Dutch manufacturers have teamed with TNO’s perovskite solar cell experts to integrate spatial atomic layer deposition equipment to produce ultra-thin, high-quality nickel-oxide hole transport ...

UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic ...

A hybrid perovskite that is both stiff and thermally insulating—an unusual combination of properties—could pave the way for improved solar cells (ACS Nano 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c12172). In many ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades under real weather conditions. An international research collaboration has ...

The image shows a cross-section of the active layers in the thin-film solar cell, with a total thickness of no more than 3 micrometres. Using nano-XRF measured at the MAX IV facility in Lund, it is ...

A new record for electrical energy generation from CIGS solar cells has been reached. Scientists have achieved a 23.64 percent efficiency. Uppsala University is the new world record holder for ...
