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

Sheet resistance, measured in ohms per square (Ω/ ), is a parameter that quantifies the resistance of thin conductive layers. In solar cells, it primarily influences the performance of the front ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

Researchers in China and Malaysia simulated a new structure for copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS) cells featuring a tungsten oxide buffer layer and a back surface field kesterite layer. A device ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

Laser-assisted firing is a major breakthrough in solar cell technology because it can solve one of the key issues causing poor reliability in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells, ...

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 ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...
