The key components of photovoltaic (PV) systems are PV modules representing basic
devices, which are able to operate durably in outdoor conditions. PV modules can be …

We use complementary bottom-up and top-down approaches to assess the current cost of
AE and PEM stacks and how the costs are expected to come down by 2030. The total AE …

Formation of an interfacial tunnel oxide capped by the polysilicon (poly-Si) layer is one of the
most promising methods to realize carrier-selective contacts as it offers an evolutionary …

Improved solar cell efficiency is the key to ongoing photovoltaic cost reduction, particularly
as economies of scale propel module-manufacturing costs towards largely immutable basic …

Tandem solar cells offer the potential of conversion efficiencies exceeding those of single-
junction solar cells, but also incur higher fabrication costs. The question arises under which …

Bifacial solar cells and modules are a promising approach to increase the energy output of
photovoltaic systems, and therefore decrease levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). This work …

Modules using halved cells are a promising development to improve module power and
reduce module costs. We perform an analysis of power gains and losses within half-cell …

We evaluate three design solutions for BIPV modules: colored encapsulants, ceramic
printed glass covers and spectral-selective photonic Morpho structures, regarding their …

The value of any new photovoltaics (PV) technology depends on its anticipated performance
and manufacturing cost. Computer models can be used to predict module and system …

Previous studies on dispensing as an alternative front side metallization process in
crystalline silicon photovoltaics demonstrated, how an adaption of paste rheology allows for …
