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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
The conductivity of semiconductors (Silicon & Germanium) can be adjusted by putting a small number of impurities into their crystal structures. This impurity leads to better conductivity among semiconductors. Impurities based on the number of […]
Here we present various characteristics of different type of thin-film solar cells to judge that what obstacles are prevented them from fabrication, mass production, or phasing out from the market. You can easily understand what […]
We have written a lot about striking aspects of Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) such as their power conversion efficiencies, structures & other features. However, we have less dealt with “the obstacles” that have made them […]
Huis Ten Bosch increased the number of beds in the Henna (Weird) Hotel Huis Ten Bosch accommodation facility and opened the south wing building in the third construction phase on Dec 21. The company is […]
