A US research group has developed stable emitters for high-temperature applications above 1,800 C, which could improve the efficiency of lab-scale thermophovoltaic systems. The framework showcases the potential to design application-specific metamaterials in high-temperature photonics using optimiza...

JinkoSolar claims that its new 182 mm n-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell has reached a maximum solar conversion efficiency of 26.89%. It says the achievement has been independently verified by a third party. JinkoSolar said it has achieved a “major technological breakthrough” with...

Heterojunction silicon solar cells with undoped tin oxide transparent electrodes. Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells: Relying on heterojunction between semiconductors with different energy bands, they are one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies. These cells have a long history of...

On October 26, 2023, the Shenzhou-17 manned spacecraft was successfully launched from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, marking a further step in mankind's journey towards the romantic galaxy. Aerospace science and technology have promoted the process of human society, from space applications...

Researchers in Switzerland have looked into three kinds of black ink coating for metallic ribbons used in PV modules. They have compared their visual stability and their effect on electrical performance.  A group of researchers in Switzerland has investigated the visual stability and electrical...

Jaebin Choe, renewables permitting team researcher at environmental advocacy organization Solutions for our Climate (SFOC), told pv magazine that some South Korean regional governments have been forced to pass exceptional clauses to allow the construction of solar PV arrays in their municipalit...

Brazil has reached a milestone in its distributed-generation solar capacity, with a total of 24 GW. Since April, it has deployed an additional 4 GW of distributed solar capacity. However, the third quarter of this year marked the first signs of a market contraction. he distributed-generation...

The result was certified by Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems’ (ISE) CalLab and included in the charts of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Scientists at the HZB claim to have produced a perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell...

South Korean scientists have developed a new building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solar cell featuring a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) electrode. This innovation is expected to enhance light scattering and meet aesthetic standards. South Korean researchers have developed a BIPV cell incorpor...

  The Hi-MO 7 module attracted the attention of both the industry and global customers immediately upon its release, with LONGi subsequently promoting the product at high profile events around the world as part of the Hi-MO series.   Underlining LONGi’s long-standing commitment to te...

Two independent research teams published research in the journal Science on July 6 that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells has exceeded the 30% mark - to be precise, perovskite/crystalline laminated solar cells.   For decades, monocrystalline silicon solar cells have been th...
