TU Delft scientists used plasma treatment with boron (PTB) to build heterojunction solar cells relying on a hole transport layer made of transition metal oxide (TMO) thin films. The device showed ...

China-based PV equipment supplier Suzhou Maxwell Technologies Co., Ltd. has announced it achieved a power conversion efficiency of 26.92% for a heterojunction (HJT) solar cell. The result was ...

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, ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

China’s Trina Solar has set a new world record for the conversion efficiency of a certain type of solar module, the company said in a statement on Monday. In laboratory tests, Trina’s ...

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 ...

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

Despite their clear efficiency advantages, high-resistivity, lightly doped silicon wafers have seen limited adoption ...
