Even though power conversion efficiency has already reached 25.8%, poor stability is one of
the major challenges hindering the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) …

Thin film solar cells offer several benefits over conventional first-generation technologies
including lighter weight, flexibility, and a wider range of optoelectronic tunability. Their …

The net energy implications of the energy transition have so far been analysed at best at the
final energy stage. Here we argue that expanding the analysis to the useful stage is crucial …

Abstract Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si) photovoltaic (PV)
systems often disregard novel module designs (eg glass-glass modules) and the fast pace …

In this review, the factors influencing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite
solar cells (PSCs) is emphasized. The PCE of PSCs has remarkably increased from 3.8% to …

In recent decades, solar energy systems have played an increasingly important role in
human societies, including support of the supply of drinking water, hot water, and electricity …

Solar energy is considered to be one of the most promising renewable and sustainable
energy sources. Two key technologies such as photovoltaic and concentrated solar power …

After rapid progress in the past few years, emerging solar cells based on metal halide
perovskites have become a potential candidate to rival and even outperform crystalline …

Grain boundaries (GBs) play an important role in most polycrystalline solar cells. In
perovskite solar cells, the research community is just starting to understand their effects on …

A novel methodology is developed to dynamically assess the energy and material
investments required over time to achieve the transition from fossil fuels to renewable …
