A team at Fraunhofer ISE has created new imaging methods to measure losses in individual sub-cells of multi-junction solar cells based on perovskite-silicon and perovskite-perovskite-silicon ...

In a proof-of-concept paper, researchers detail a new approach for creating multi-junction solar cells using off-the-shelf components, resulting in lower cost, high-efficiency solar cells for use in ...

Figure 1: Formation (zipping) and yielding of dislocation junctions in the DD simulations. Although the DD simulations provide credible support for the existence of multi-junctions, it is desirable to ...

The triple-junction solar cell is based on indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and Germanium (Ge) and is made with a micro-grating made of glass, consisting of a two-dimensional ...

The current world record for triple-junction solar cell efficiency is 44 percent, but a collaboration between the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the Imperial College of London, and MicroLink ...

Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we always want more! Too much, you ...

Scientists at the US Naval Research Laboratory, in collaboration with Imperial College London and MicroLink Devices, have proposed a novel triple junction solar cell with the potential to break the 50 ...

A close-up image of solar panel. Mass-produced silicon solar cells are typically less than 20% efficient, but a new multi-junction device has demonstrated an efficiency of 29.8%. (Image courtesy of ...

Today’s dominant photovoltaic technologies rely on single-junction devices, which are approaching their practical efficiency limit of 25–27%. Therefore, researchers are increasingly turning to ...

Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JinkoSolar has partnered with the Shanghai Institute of Space Power-Sources (SISP) to co-develop high-efficiency multi-junction solar cell technology ...
