Active façades : life cycle environmental impacts and savings of photovoltaic power plants integrated into the building envelope

Gianluca Cattaneo, Angela Clua Longas

Aim and approach used Increased energy supply from photovoltaics is a main priority in the “Energy Strategy 2050”. Within the joint research project "Next generation photovoltaics" funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, we analysed different o ...

35 years of photovoltaics: Analysis of the TISO-10-kW solar plant, lessons learnt in safety and performance-Part 2

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Eleonora Annigoni

The TISO-10-kW plant, installed in Lugano (Switzerland) in 1982, is the first grid-connected PV plant in Europe. In a joint publication (part 1), we presented the results of the electrical characterization performed in 2017-after 35 years of operation-of t ...

Migration of cations induces reversible performance losses over day/night cycling in perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Filippo de Angelis, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Konrad Domanski, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz, Taisuke Matsui

Perovskites have been demonstrated in solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of well above 20%, which makes them one of the strongest contenders for next generation photovoltaics. While there are no concerns about their efficiency, very little is ...
