The new solar cell achieved a maximum power conversion efficiency of 23.75% and a certified efficiency of 23.64%, thus beating the previous world record of 23.35% achieved in 2019 by Japan’s Solar Frontier. The result was confirmed by the Fraunhofer ISE. Swedish PV manufacturer First Sol...

The module has a size of 143 mm x 143 mm and an active area of 204.11 cm². The result was certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE). An international research team led by Germany's Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg has b...

    In order to unleash the full performance of silicon heterojunction solar cells, parasitic losses need to be reduced. Researchers have developed an industrial-scale high-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. 1) The system has a minimized standing wave effect and is...

    The researchers have developed a new perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem solar cell that uses a top-layer perovskite cell with a bandgap width of 1.67 eV and a novel carbazole-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Compared to cell structures without self-assembled monolayers, tandem...

    The team of researchers  jointly developed a polycrystalline silicon tunnel composite layer for perovskite-crystalline silicon (TOPCon) tandem solar cells (TSCs), achieving excellent efficiency and high stability.     Due to their theoretical ultra-high efficiency and co...

     A Chinese research team has built an all-perovskite tandem solar cell with a 19.6%-efficient wide bandgap top cell relying on a 2D/3D heterostructure and narrow bandgap bottom cell with a 21.3% efficiency. The tandem device showed remarkable stability by retaining 90% of its init...

Recently, the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells independently developed by LONGi Green Energy has reached 33.9%, which is also the highest efficiency record of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells in the world. Previously, the record was 33.7 percent, achieved by King...

On November 3, according to the latest certification report of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the United States, the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells independently developed by Chinese photovoltaic company LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinaf...

On November 3, according to the latest certification report of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells independently developed by the Chinese photovoltaic enterprise - Longi Green Energy Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred...

Fraunhofer ISE researchers utilized a new front metallization technique to produce a III-V gallium arsenide solar cell. For mask and plate front metallization, they used a new two-step printing scheme that reportedly allows for the realization of extremely narrow mask openings. Scientists at German...

A group of scientists in the United States saw ‘encouraging’ results after testing the commercialization of novel coating materials in field tests, with the coating only increasing a panel’s total cost by 1.4%. Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States...

Fraunhofer ISE researchers have demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of the shingling approach with perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. They also produced full format photovoltaic modules with a power conversion effciency of 22.8%. A group of scientists led by Germany's  (Fraunhof...
