UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...

Hydrogen can be either beneficial to silicon solar technologies, passivating bulk and surface defects, or detrimental, contributing to light- and elevated-temperature-induced degradation (LeTID) and ...

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 ...
