Extensive knowledge of the dependence of solar cell and module performance on
temperature and irradiance is essential for their optimal application in the field. Here we …

To unlock the full potential of perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells with> 30% efficiency at
presumably low cost, the transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) and metal grid at the front …

A new approach to model edge recombination in silicon solar cells is presented. The model
accounts for recombination both at the edge of the quasi-neutral bulk as well as at an …

Halved and shingled solar cells are a powerful technology to reduce cell-to-module losses
and ultimately increase the output power of a photovoltaic module. The combination of this …

We present a module fabrication process enabling gap-free interconnection of c-Si solar
cells using solder-based interconnection technology with ribbons or wires. The interconnect …

In this work, we demonstrate that partial shading of one solar cell in a state-of-the-art
monocrystalline photovoltaic module with three bypass diodes results in hot cells with critical …

Previously, we reported the synthesis and application of transparent conductive polymer
(TCP) films, poly (arylene ether ketone) copolymers (co-PAEKs), for forming direct contact …

The impact of partial shading on cell operating current, voltage, and temperature is
simulated, for a half-cell module with series-parallel-series connections and for the …

A key for increasing the module efficiency is improved light harvesting. The structuring of
solar cell interconnection ribbons (CIR) is a promising option for improved light harvesting …

Improving the light trap** in a module results in an increase in the generated current.
Consequently, an optimization of the front grid metallization of the cell is required for the best …
