Balancing DSO interests and PV system economics with alternative tariffs

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Alejandro Pena Bello, Robin Junod

Distributed rooftop photovoltaics (PV) is one of the pillars of the energy transition yet their widespread integration strains grids, leading to over-voltage, reverse power flow, and infrastructure strain. Furthermore, increased PV self-consumption reduces ...

CNT-based bifacial perovskite solar cells towards highly efficient 4-terminal tandem photovoltaics

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Fan Fu, Hongwei Zhu, Chunyang Zhang

Carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) are recognized as low-cost stable photovoltaics. However, currently most highly efficient C-PSCs are optically opaque, which means that they can only utilize direct illumination but cannot efficiently utilize th ...
