cell efficiency

PV Tech sat down with DAH Solar president William Xie at Intersolar Europe 2023 to discuss the company’s products, strategy and future plans for expansion in Europe and beyond.

German research centre Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has claimed a silicon/perovskite tandem cell efficiency record of 32.5%.

Newly granted patents for solar cell architecture that reduces silver costs and increases power generation could see the new technology draw closer to commercialisation.

Solar manufacturer LONGi has set a world record conversion efficiency of 26.81% for silicon heterojunction (HJT) PV cells.

Australian start-up SunDrive has secured A$21 million (US$13.2 million) in a Series A fund that will help commercialise its solar technology.

A research consortium has devised a production line with a throughput of up to 20,000 wafers per hour, which is double the usual amount.

Solar manufacturer LONGi has set a world record conversion efficiency of 26.5% for silicon heterojunction (HJT) PV cells.

Solar manufacturer LONGi has laid claim to a new cell efficiency record for a gallium-doped p-type heterojunction PV cell.

The chemical process of halogen bonding has “considerable potential for the development of a new generation of solar cells based on perovskites”, according to researchers at the Polytechnic University of Milan.

Heterojunction (HJT) equipment manufacturer Maxwell Technologies and Australian solar technology start-up SunDrive have laid claim to a breakthrough in mass production HJT technology after recording a conversion efficiency of 26.07% with a commercial-size solar PV cell.
