efficiency

JinkoSolar, LONGi Green and Canadian Solar shared views on China's mandatory PV efficiency standard that will take effect from next year.

If we imagine the development of PV industry in terms of scale and quality on a single curve, its trajectory has clearly been moving upward.

PV Talk: University of New South Wales professor Xiaojing Hao discusses her hopes for the potential of kesterite, an emerging alternative PV technology.

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University Berlin have achieved an efficiency of 24.6% with a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and perovskite tandem solar cell.

Engineers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) have claimed to have achieved a new world record for photovoltaic efficiency using high-bandgap kesterite solar cells (CZTS).

Researchers from the Chung-Ang University in Korea have revealed a way to enhance the efficiency of perovskite solar cells using 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has found that a “hybrid polymer material” in perovskite cells could minimise weather-based degradation.

Current climate targets can only be achieved with a step away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy, and towards an all-electric society.

Ampt and Enphase discuss the importance of optimising solar inverters, and what this could change in the broader energy industry.

Smart solar irradiation and weather monitoring provide highly accurate measurements that make it easy to maintain optimal performance.
