N-Type Tandem Perovskite-Silicon Solar Cells Exceed 27% in Conversion Efficiency

published 2021 年 07 月 21 日 9:30
Perovskite solar cells, which have managed to achieve a conversion efficiency of up to 25% in recent tests, have made a lot of significant progress in the past few years. Using a n-i-p cell architecture, a team of scientists from Saudi Arabia  were able to create an advanced perovskite-silicon tandem cell that features an impressive conversion efficiency of 27%. ...  more

III-V Compound Semiconductors and Silicon Solar Cells Have Reached New Advancements, Achieving Conversion Efficiencies of 35.9%

published 2021 年 05 月 24 日 9:30
The conversion efficiency of solar cells recently produced using III-V semiconductors have reached highly impressive rates. German scientists have now also developed group III-V silicon tandem solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 35.9%. At this rate, it is clear that this kind of solar technology has the greatest potential to break the 50% conversion threshold. ...  more

Pristine Silicon Solar Cell Built by Nanostructure to Exceed 26% in Conversion Efficiency

published 2021 年 05 月 10 日 9:30
Solar energy has become a relatively competitive source of power generation, though an improvement on the existing technology and a further elevation in the conversion efficiency is certainly a good thing. German scientists have recently integrated a nanostructure with a solar cell that is completely different in design to produce a solar cell that may achieve a conversion efficiency of 26%. ...  more

New Solar Marches Into Space as Perovskite and Organic Cells Complete Space Testing

published 2020 年 09 月 01 日 9:30
Perovskite and organic solar are promising new solar technology as they offer excellent performance in a thinner and lighter fashion in contrast to existing solar cells, with relatively extensive application range at the same time, and now their application fields have been expanded to space, where scientists have completed testing for perovskite and organic solar. ...  more

India’s Domestic Protectionist Policy Means Its Solar Industry May Not Qualify for Subsidies Using Imported Solar Cells

published 2019 年 11 月 25 日 11:34
Still remember the import duty imposed on foreign-made solar cells by the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry back in 2018? To protect the domestic photovoltaic industry, the Ministry levied a 25% first-year tariff on imported cells. Recently, India is rolling out a brand new set of policies that will proactively reduce the country’s reliance on imported cells. The idea here is to bolster the Indian solar cell manufacturing industry. ...  more
