Scientists in Australia claim that TOPCon cells are rapidly closing the open-circuit voltage gap with heterojunction counterparts, now under 10 mV, while offering greater wafer tolerance and high ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the past few years, energy engineers have been exploring alternative designs that ...

A single chemical additive applied during perovskite film deposition helped lift a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell to a ...

Swansea University researchers found that perovskite solar cells can tolerate dusty fabrication environments, performing almost as well as those made in cleanrooms. The findings suggest low-cost, ...

Researchers in Singapore have developed fully vacuum-processed ultrathin perovskite solar cells with absorber layers as thin as 10 nm, achieving high transparency and stable efficiencies up to 12%.

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, ...

Abstract Self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based hole-selective layers (HSLs) offer a promising route to defect-passivated and energy-aligned interfaces ...

Thin film solar cells represent a transformative approach in photovoltaic technology, utilising semiconductor layers only a few micrometres thick to convert sunlight into electricity. These cells ...

We look at the benefits and potential issues with plug-in solar, including how it works and the regulatory changes needed.
