Germany could install 500GW of new solar agrivoltaics (agriPV) capacity on its most 'suitable' land, according to Fraunhofer ISE.

A new manufacturing method has produced tandem perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a conversion efficiency of 27.8%.

Fraunhofer ISE has developed a solar cell which uses “one-tenth” of the amount of silver as a standard cell.

Concerns over the performance of TOPCon solar cells following UV exposure may be exaggerated, according to research by Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

Scientists at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) and weather protection provider VOEN have developed lightweight modules for agrivoltaics (agriPV) applications.

Fraunhofer ISE research suggests that the average monocrystalline silicon PV module’s power output was 1.2% lower than its nominal capacity.

Dubbed “MaNiTU”, the Fraunhofer project aimed to identify the most sustainable path for the market launch of tandem solar cells with perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells in the lead.

Fraunhofer ISE’s study uncovered critical degradation effects caused by moisture ingress and UV irradiation in accelerated aging.

Researchers from Fraunhofer ISE have developed a perovskite silicon solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 31.6%.

Fraunhofer ISE has launched a new project to research manufacturing processes for use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
