Organic solar modules have advantages over silicon solar cells. However, one critical problem is their shorter operating life. Researchers are working on a promising solution: they are using flexible glass as a carrier substrate that better protects the components.
Canadian Solar Inc., one of the world's largest solar power companies, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with GCL-Poly Solar System Integration (China) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited to establish a joint venture to build a manufacturing site to produce crystalline silicon solar cells in Funing, Jiangsu Province, China.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), the largest vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") module manufacturer in the world, known as "Yingli Solar," today announced that it has begun trial production of monocrystalline silicon modules with N-type Metal-Wrap-Through ("N-MWT") technology, by adopting equipment provided by Formula E s.r.l. (Formula E), a leading supplier of photovoltaic technology and automated manufacturing lines.
Amtech Systems, Inc., a global supplier of production and automation systems and related supplies for the manufacture of solar cells, semiconductors, and sapphire and silicon wafers, today announced that the Company, along with its solar subsidiary, Tempress Systems, will exhibit at the 8th International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition (SNEC 2014) May 20-22, 2014, in Shanghai, China at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (Hall E3, Booth 330).
Despite their solar-energy conversion efficiency, hybrid lead halide perovskites have high costs of manufacturing because of the expensive materials used for hole-transporting. By using a cheap inorganic alternative, EPFL scientists have achieved 12.4% power-conversion efficiency.
The Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit, a worldwide leading supplier of metallization pastes for solar cells, has decided to begin manufacturing front-side metallization paste in China. This move will complement the local sales, technical staff and back-side paste production that currently exist in China.
Photovoltaic (PV) modules continue to gain momentum as a viable renewable energy source in the marketplace. With reputable ENLIGHT™ Polyolefin Encapsulant Films for PV modules, Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics, a business unit of Dow, has established itself as an industry leader for polyolefin encapsulants products that produce high-performance PV systems.
Dow Corning will introduce its latest solar solutions at booth W4-523 at SNEC 2014, the 8th International Photovoltaic Conference and Expo, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from May 20 to May 22.
The Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit, a worldwide leading supplier of metallization pastes for solar cells, will launch two new front-side metallization pastes for standard to ultra-lightly doped emitter cells - the SOL9620 Series and SOL9621 Series - at the SNEC (2014) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition from May 20th through May 22nd, 2014. Heraeus will be exhibiting in Hall W3 at booth 560.
When sunlight shines on today’s solar cells, much of the incoming energy is given off as waste heat rather than electrical current. In a few materials, however, extra energy produces extra electrons — behavior that could significantly increase solar-cell efficiency.
