Conventional photovoltaic devices are currently made from relatively thick semiconductor
layers,~ 150 µm for silicon and 2–4 µm for Cu (In, Ga)(S, Se) 2, CdTe or III–V direct bandgap …

Ultra‐thin photovoltaics enable lightweight flexible form factors, suitable for emerging
terrestrial applications such as electric vehicle integration. These devices also exhibit …

Potential-induced degradation (PID) is investigated in small-size Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS)
submodules of individual cells. Samples with conventional soda-lime glass (SLG) and low …

We present a record-high solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency (STH) for monolithic all-
silicon multi-junction solar devices. The device is based on an interdigitated back-contact …

Solar Energy can be used in various ways: there are solar collectors to heat water and air,
photovoltaic panels that produce electricity and PVT collectors (Photovoltaic Thermal …

While perovskite (PVK)‐based solar cells exhibit excellent efficiencies and require a
relatively simple synthesis process, stability issues during operation severely limit their …

Abstract Silver/aluminum (Ag/Al) paste has been used as metallization for p+ emitter of n-
type solar cells. Nevertheless, the Ag/Al paste induces junction current leakage or shunting …

Contacting silver paste for an emitter of silicon solar cells has been pointed out to create
shunting and to increase carrier recombination due to silver-crystallites at the emitter …

Ultra-thin (less than 100 nm) photovoltaics for space power applications are proposed due
to their intrinsic radiation tolerance [1]. They are a potentially enabling technology for space …

The effects of doping InAs quantum dots (QDs) with Si on charge carrier dynamics and
recombination in the InAs/GaAs QD solar cells (QDSCs) with AlAs cap layers was …
