It’s claimed the unified diode equation for thin-film PV provides insights into the mechanisms driving limiting charge collection and power-conversion efficiency in low-mobility PV devices.

As the global demand for renewable energy grows, solar cells continue to gain attention as a key clean energy source. Among ...

Scientists at HZB run a long-term experiment on the roof of a building at the Adlershof campus. They expose a wide variety of ...

Physicists at Paderborn University have used complex computer simulations to develop a new design for significantly more efficient solar cells than previously available. A thin layer of organic ...

Where an ideal single-junction cell has a maximum efficiency of 33.16% in theory, a tandem or multi-junction solar cell with “infinite” junctions could hit an efficiency of up to 86.8%.

With the initial efficiency of 25.56%, the solar cell retained 85% of its efficiency despite operating for upto 1,000 hours under conditions of 185°F (85°C) and 85% relative humidity.

Aug. 22, 2023 — In the ongoing quest for more efficient solar cells, the most current published record for tandem perovskite solar cells is 32.5 percent. In a new paper, researchers report on ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV ...

A research team from the School of Engineering (SENG) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has ...

Experimental cells that combine silicon with a material called perovskite have broken the efficiency record for converting solar energy—and could eventually supercharge how we get electricity.
