Quantifying and modeling the impact of interconnection failures on the electrical performance of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Jacques Levrat, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Matthieu Despeisse, Fanny Sculati-Meillaud, Eleonora Annigoni

Failures in the metallic interconnections are among the main degradation modes for photovoltaic modules. Fatigue accumulation due to thermomechanical stresses can result in deterioration of the solder joints or in broken ribbons. In this paper, we first qu ...

A comparative performance analysis of stand-alone, off-grid solar-powered sodium hypochlorite generators

Demetri Psaltis, Antonin Faes, Miguel Antonio Modestino, Enrico Chinello, Laurent Coulot

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is a chemical commodity widely employed as a disinfection agent in water treatment applications. Its production commonly follows electrochemical routes in an undivided reactor. Powering the process with photovoltaic (PV) electri ...

Mechanoperovskites for Photovoltaic Applications: Preparation, Characterization, and Device Fabrication

Pankaj Kumar Yadav, Daniel Prochowicz

Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have emerged as excellent absorber materials for next generation solar cells owing to their simple solution-processed synthesis and high efficiency. This breakthrough in photovoltaics along with an a ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019

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 ...

Solar photovoltaic module

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Philipp Friedrich Hermann Löper, Philippe Wyss, Josua Andreas Stückelberger

In the present invention a new solar photovoltaic module is proposed comprising a solar cell comprising a silicon layer having a first (1 a) surface and a second surface (1a) opposite to said first surface. The solar cell further comprises a passivating la ...

Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are used as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) because of their stability and intense absorption in the red and near-IR regions. Impressive progress has been made in photovoltaic efficiencies by introduction of bulky pe ...

Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2016

Solar energy represents an abundant (1000 W·m-2) and seemingly cheap source of energy. One way to tap it is to transform light into electricity with photovoltaic devices. Single junction solar cells presently reach 32% conversion yield under 1-sun illumina ...

Organohalide lead perovskites for photovoltaic applications

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Peng Gao

There are only few semiconducting materials that have been shaping the progress of third generation photovoltaic cells as much as perovskites. Although they are deceivingly simple in structure, the archetypal AMX(3)-type perovskites have built-in potential ...

A miniaturised autonomous sensor based on nanowire materials platform: the SiNAPS mote

Maher Kayal, Naser Khosro Pour

A micro-power energy harvesting system based on core(crystalline Si)-shell(amorphous Si) nanowire solar cells together with a nanowire-modified CMOS sensing platform have been developed to be used in a dust-sized autonomous chemical sensor node. The mote ( ...
