Scientists at Spain's Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (IREC) have fabricated a transparent solar cell based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide. They say it could be used for ...

In a study, the manufacturer stated that it produced highly efficient HBC solar cells using a laser patterning technique. Longi exploited amorphous silicon as passivating contact layers The ...

Solar-powered calculators were first introduced in the 1970s, but the limitations of the amorphous silicon cells they rely ...

For the tandem solar cell, they combined a perovskite top ... They designed the bottom cell with a conventional design based on amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon layers with the addition ...

Australian researchers have identified five contaminants that could increase damp heat-induced degradation in TOPCon and ...

To enable PV production on a multi-terawatt scale, solar cell and module manufacturer must significantly reduce their silver consumption. In 2024, the PV industry, which continues to grow, already ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

The coating works across the visible and near-infrared spectrum (500 to 1200 nanometers) and is effective even when the ...

The coating works across the visible and near-infrared spectrum (500 to 1200 nm) and is effective even when the sunlight hits at steep angles. It reflects as little as 2 per cent of incoming light at ...
