Correlating long-term performance and aging behaviour of building integrated PV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Ebrar Özkalay

Because building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules are fully integrated into a building envelope, the back of the module can be exposed to little or no ventilation, resulting in increased operating temperatures. As the temperature increases, the perfo ...

Development and characterization of N2O-plasma oxide layers for high-temperature p-type passivating contacts in silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Sofia Libraro, Julien Hurni, Ezgi Genç, David Fernando Reyes Vasquez

Full-area passivating contacts based on SiOx/poly-Si stacks are key for the new generation of industrial silicon solar cells substituting the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) technology. Demonstrating a potential efficiency increase of 1 to 2% compa ...

Development of Pid-resistant Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti

In this abstract, we focus on reinforcing silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells against degradation mechanisms induced by moisture and high-negative voltages. In order to verify that, the solar cells are encapsulated in a glass/backsheet (G/BS) module s ...

Assessing the Influence of Illumination on Ion Conductivity in Perovskite Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Christian Michael Wolff, Mostafa Rabie Shlaly Bahr Othman

Whether illumination influences the ion conductivity in lead-halide perovskite solar cells containing iodide halides has been an ongoing debate. Experiments to elucidate the presence of a photoconductive effect require special devices or measurement techni ...

Bifacial perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells based on FAPbI3-based perovskite via hybrid evaporation-spin coating

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Mounir Driss Mensi, Christian Michael Wolff, Mostafa Rabie Shlaly Bahr Othman, Deniz Türkay, Kerem Artuk

Combining the two technologies of tandem solar cells and bifacial solar cells has a great potential to maximize energy harvesting while minimizing material and surface usage. Mid-bandgap perovskites (1.50–1.60 eV) are important for fulfilling current match ...

Multi-Annual Year-on-Year: Minimising the Uncertainty in Photovoltaic System Performance Loss Rates

Christophe Ballif, Hugo James André Quest

The performance loss rate (PLR) is a key parameter in the assessment of photovoltaic (PV) systems' long-term performance and reliability. Despite the lack of industry-wide consensus and standardised methods for extracting PLR values from field data, the ye ...

Intrinsic performance loss rate: Decoupling reversible and irreversible losses for an improved assessment of photovoltaic system performance

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Hugo James André Quest

Solar electricity is set to play a pivotal role in future energy systems. In view of a market that may soon reach the terawatt (TW) scale, a careful assessment of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems becomes critical. Research on PV fault detection ...

Linking Nanoscopic Insights to Millimetric-Devices in Formamidinium-Rich Perovskite Photovoltaics

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Mostafa Rabie Shlaly Bahr Othman

Halide-perovskite semiconductors have a high potential for use in single-junction and tandem solar cells. Despite their unprecedented rise in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) for photovoltaic (PV) applications, it remains unclear whether perovskite sol ...

Amorphous silicon detectors for proton beam monitoring in FLASH radiotherapy

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Dunand, Nicolas Würsch, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet

Ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy (FLASH) based on proton irradiation is of major interest for cancer treatments but creates new challenges for dose monitoring. Amorphous hydrogenated silicon is known to be one of the most radiation-hard semiconductor ...

The effect of partial shading on the reliability of photovoltaic modules in the built-environment

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Ebrar Özkalay

Residential photovoltaic systems often experience partial shading from chimneys, trees or other structures, which can induce hot-spots in the modules. If the temperature and frequency of these hot-spots are high, the module's reliability and safety may be ...
