Advanced Architectures and Processing for High-Efficiency Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Jonas Geissbühler

Crystalline silicon solar cells currently represent the largest part of the photovoltaic market. In response to the demand for higher efficiency devices, silicon heterojunction technology, which merges a crystalline silicon wafer with thin amorphous silico ...

The effect of cooling press on the encapsulation properties of crystalline photovoltaic modules: residual stress and adhesion

Christophe Ballif, Hengyu Li, Laure-Emmanuelle Perret Aebi, Yun Luo, Valentin Chapuis

A high-quality encapsulation process is crucial to ensuring the performance and long-term reliability of photovoltaic (PV) modules. In crystalline Si technology-based modules, poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the most widely used PV encapsulant. I ...

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 ...

Royal Society of Chemistry2014

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 ...

Elsevier Science B.V.2014

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 ( ...

Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2013

This thesis investigates the link between the plasma deposition conditions and microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) material quality for thin-film silicon photovoltaic applications. The role of interfaces and the μc-Si:H material quality on the device perfor ...
