Light absorbing materials demonstrate poor durability as they frequently degrade or overheat over time. This is one of the reasons that affect the widespread adoption of solar energy. To address these challenges, a research team comprising Dr. Mikhail Zamkov of Bowling Green State University and colleagues has developed a technique to produce two inorganic nanocrystals that demonstrate better durability when compared to organic materials.
Scientists state that less-expensive solar energy technology is required to install shingled roofs in homes which produce electricity. Advances towards such technology are being reported.
Solar Gard, which develops and produces backsheet materials and flexible films, has announced the addition of PV FC10f to its suite of superior-quality solutions for use in photovoltaic modules.
Dow Chemical has started the ENLIGHT polyolefin encapsulant film production in the Map Ta Phut, Thailand site for photovoltaic solar panel applications.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have created a new type of transparent polymer solar cells (PSC) that are capable of generating electricity. These cells can be fixed onto windows. The novel technology allows people within the buildings to see outside as they are visibly transparent.
At the Intersolar North America 2012 Trade Show, The Heraeus Photovoltaics Business Unit, a developer and manufacturer of silver pastes for the photovoltaic (PV) industry, will showcase its new SOL9600 line of front-side silver metallization pastes with wider processing windows.
Helmholtz Alliance LIMTECH, a new research alliance, has been created by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) along with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to develop liquid metal technologies.
Natcore Technology has received research and development assignments from five solar device makers to test whether Natcore’s liquid phase deposition (LPD) and black silicon processes can be helpful in cost reduction and performance improvement of their solar devices.
Engineered Conductive Materials, a major provider of conductive interconnect materials for use in photovoltaic applications, has announced the launch of two advanced conductive grid inks namely, CI-1031-7 and CI-1031-8.
A research team from the University of Florida (UF) has fabricated a graphene solar cell that demonstrates a power conversion efficiency of 8.6%, a record value, when considering earlier attempts in the making of graphene solar cells that managed only 2.9% conversion efficiency.
