Silicon heterojunction solar cells combine crystalline silicon substrates with thin amorphous silicon layers to harness the advantages of both materials. This approach yields superior passivation, ...

Korean researchers revealed that efficiency losses in heterojunction solar cells arise from two coexisting defect types – dangling bonds and weak silicon-silicon bonds. Their findings explain how ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands have fabricated a front-back contact silicon heterojunction (FBC-SHJ) solar cell with a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) ...

Just last month, a European group posted a record of 30.8%. Image: Fraunhofer ISE. Chinese solar manufacturer Risen Energy has produced what it called a “record” conversation efficiency on a ...

NuVision Solar targets module production to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025. Image: NuVision Solar. NuVision Solar, a new US-based solar manufacturer, has been formed and aims to build a ...

Netherlands-based research lab TNO has succeeded in applying copper electrodes to silicon heterojunction solar cells using a new screen-printing process. With this innovation, TNO says, almost the ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Solar cell photovoltaic research, development, and manufacturing continue to rapidly move forward with new advances in solar texture and metallization manufacturing leading to higher efficiency solar ...
