Introduction All conventional crystalline silicon-based solar panels consist of 5 layers. These layers are glass front encapsulant layer matrix-cell/solar cells rear encapsulant layer backsheet [1,2]. Silicon solar cells have been embedded in the middle of […]
Researchers at Penn State University have devised a new approach for designing Tandem Solar Cells which has solved one of the challenges of this type of solar cell. They have proposed to use two thin-film […]
Fraunhofer ISE won three student awards at the 47th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference as the world’s oldest photovoltaic conference. This conference will be held in virtual form from June 15 to August 21. One of […]
It is the second part of a bipartite article. In this article, we want to compare two types of Tandem solar cells. Perovskite-Perovskite tandem solar cells (PPTSC) have three advantages compared to conventional photovoltaic cells, […]
What is the difference between Conventional PV Solar Cell and Tandem Solar Cells? This article is the first part of a bipartite article where we aim to compare conventional photovoltaic (PV) cells with the tandem […]
Light Capturing Ribbon (LCR) is a breakthrough in the tabbing ribbon on solar cells. This is a unique and innovative approach in order to increase the solar module’s efficiency. The approach raises the cell-to-module (CTM) […]
Organic solar cells (OSC) are said to be lightweight, nontoxic and semi-transparent but they have low efficiency and they are not very reliable in long term use. Last year Ubiquitous Energy was able to produce […]
We can divide solar cell technologies into three general subsets. They are called the first, second, and third generation of solar cell technologies due to their market entry time and types. The first generation consists […]
Sono Motors is planning to embed “interdigitated back contact” (IBC) technology, in order to extend their Solar Car range. According to Sono Motor, thanks to the new technology, 248 solar cells can be seamlessly integrated […]
The output power of a solar module not only depends on the ability of cells in converting incident sunlight into the electric current but also depends on the loss and gain mechanisms in cell and […]
