Advantage 1: high efficiency
The minority carrier lifetime of N-type silicon wafers is at least an order of magnitude higher than that of P-type silicon wafers, which will greatly increase the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the solar cells, and bring higher solar cells conversion...
Solar will remain the leading source of global renewable energy capacity expansion by 2023, accounting for 286 GW, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a new report. This figure will grow to almost 310 GW by 2024 due to falling module prices, increased adoption of distributed PV systems, an...
The European Solar Energy Testing Institute (ESTI) has confirmed test results for a new perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). The KAUST researchers claim that this technology is a step forward compared to other perovskite-silicon cell...
