A new process uses a porous substrate to absorb stray photons and recapture their energy. This approach may allow for the manufacture of cells that can be made from smaller quantities of semiconductor ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...

A team of researchers in China has demonstrated a novel dual-solvent process in 4-terminal carbon CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells that achieve 10.18% power conversion efficiency. They have also built a ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cells. Interestingly, ...

UNSW researchers found that some POE encapsulants can trigger severe corrosion in TOPCon solar modules, causing up to 55% power loss under damp-heat conditions. Their study highlights that module ...

Solar manufacturers are facing rising cost pressure as silver paste now accounts for up to 30% of total cell production costs. OPIS analyst Hanwei Wu tells pv magazine that module producers currently ...
