European scientists have successfully developed future lighting technology commercially ready. The breakthrough is the result of more than three years of dedicated research. The team created flexible lighting foils, which can be produced in a roll-to-roll fashion, similar to the way newspapers are printed. These devices hold the potential to develop low-cost LED lighting panels and solar cells.
A milestone study in solar cell fabrication was conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in partnership with Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Tennessee. This research will facilitate the use of solar energy to directly contend with electricity generated from traditional energy sources.
Heraeus Photovoltaics, the worldwide leading supplier of metallization solutions to the PV industry, today announced it would begin manufacturing front-side metallization paste in Taipei, Taiwan as part of its continuing expansion in the region.
Researchers have discovered that the manufacturing time for ultrathin BHL films can be significantly reduced by the addition of a simple solvent.
Heraeus Photovoltaics, the worldwide leading supplier of metallization solutions to the PV industry, today announced a joint development agreement with Sunrise Global Solar Energy (part of Sino-American Silicon Products Inc./SAS), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced photovoltaic solar energy products. Under the terms of the joint development agreement, the two companies will collaborate on research efforts the design and formulation of front-side metallization pastes for high efficiency passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) solar cells.
Scientists at EPFL have successfully used X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to determine the electronic dynamics of photovoltaic materials. They have examined the trapping dynamics demonstrated by photogenerated electrons in titanium dioxide material.
The structure of a zinc-based buffer layer in a copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cell has been determined. Knowing the buffer layer's structure has allowed the research team to identify a method of increasing solar cell efficiency.
Research highlights of the September 2015 issue of the University of Electro-Communications e-Bulletin include: innovative organolead halide perovskite solar cells solar cells with conversion efficiencies over 20%; quantum dot solar cells; analysis of apparently smooth movements that may help to understand jerky motor motion; and Professor Takayoshi Kobayashi’s pioneering research on ultrashort pulse lasers, ultrafast spectroscopy, and quantum information.
Stanford researchers have created a thin, transparent, patterned silica overlay capable of raising efficiency levels of solar cells by cooling them even when they are exposed to full sunlight.
A new Code of Practice which sets out the requirements for the design, specification, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the UK is to be published ...
