Electrical Losses Mitigation in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Laurie-Lou Senaud

To overcome the worldwide challenges of climate change, photovoltaics is foreseen to play a significant role in the world electricity production. Nowadays, single junction crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cells hold the largest share of the global ph ...

The emergence of concentrator photovoltaics for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Anurag Roy

The emergence of high-efficiency photovoltaic research is undergoing intense study and is technologically desirable to meet sustainable energy and environmental demand. However, every single solar cell has a theoretical power conversion efficiency limit, a ...

Optimization of front SiNx/ITO stacks for high-efficiency two-side contacted c-Si solar cells with co-annealed front and rear passivating contacts

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Xavier Niquille, Andrea Ingenito, Sylvain Nicolay, Frank Meyer

In this contribution, we present an electron selective passivating contact metallised with a low temperature process to target front side applications in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. In addition to an interfacial silicon oxide (SiOx) and an in-s ...

Multi-junction solar cells are known to have a considerably increased efficiency potential over their typical single junction counterparts. In order to produce low cost and lightweight multi-junction devices, the availability of suitable narrow (< 1.1 eV) ...

ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2019

Today more than 90% of the global PV market is covered by c-Si solar cells which are limited by recombination losses at the metal-semiconductor interface. This recombination path can be avoided by separating the metal from the c-Si wafer by introducing a b ...

The Quest for Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells: Understanding Degradation, Improving Lifetimes and Towards Experimental Standards

Konrad Domanski

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted a substantial interest owing to a very fast achievement of efficiencies >20 % within only several years of development. However, for any solar cell to become technologically viable, two additional milestones hav ...
